Over the past decade, functional programming has increased dramatically in popularity which has led to an explosion of resources in learning these concepts. But, between languages (Haskell, Elm, PureScript, F#), libraries (Ramda, fp-ts), and concepts (Monads, Monoids, Functors), it can be overwhelming in determining where to start and how to begin.

In an ever-changing world, uncertainty is a constant companion, especially in the realm of software development. Traditional heavy planning practices promise certainty and confidence yet fail to deliver results. This session explores practical techniques to help teams effectively plan and navigate through uncertainty, enabling them to move forward despite the presence of unknowns.

Data is at the heart of every business, but more often than not, it’s a mess. Scattered. Hard to trust. Slowing everything down. Without a solid foundation, every initiative – from AI to insight generation – gets stuck. How can you assess where you’re at and how to get your data house in order? Join to discuss.

When taking your first steps into functional programming, you’ll quickly run into blog posts talking about how to simplify complex loops by using the trinity of list operations: map, filter, and reduce. But what are these methods actually doing under the hood to help simplify your code?
