After much anticipation, we’re thrilled to announce the fourth annual Scala Days will be held this year in New York at The Hudson Theater on June 10th-12th.

Skills Matter is pleased to announce the Fourth Functional Programming eXchange our annual conference on the functional programming paradigm, practices, technologies and ideas.

Functional programming techniques are becoming increasingly important in data-centric programming.

The Alternative Programming Conference

The Scala eXchange comes in the wake of Scala Days in April - 350+ attendees, 60+ presentations, and the lovebus! - For now, we can reveal that Martin Odersky, creator of Scala, will return to Skills Matter to deliver a Keynote!

Functional programming has been at the forefront of a new generation of programming technologies: Companies employing functional programming use it to enable more effective, robust, and flexible software development.

The HTTP protocol is inherently functional. It's simple, stateless interface taking a request and returning a response should be quite familiar to functional programmers. In this series, we'll investigate the benefits of taking a functional approach to bui...

Now in its 4th year, the DDD Exchange has become one of the focal points of the DDD community. Each year, DDD thought leaders come together with 125 practitioners and enthusiasts for a truly interactive session where we delve into the tricky questions.

This month, the F#unctional Londoners Meetup Group presents Adam Mlocek on GPU enabled F# numerics, followed by a set of lightning talks on F# related topics.

Join Robert Pickering, David Pollak, Erik Hesselink, Loic Denuziere, Kevin Wright, Andres Löh, Tomas Petricek, Miles Sabin, Bruce Durling, and some 100 others passionate about Functional Programming.

F# has a strong, growing reputation for its ability to simplify complicated problems like parallel and asynchronous programming, data processing, and financial modeling. However, F# isn't just great in these niches; it’s also great at solving everyday prob...

Thanks to everyone attending, including some great speakers with excellent talks, we enjoyed an exciting, inspiring day packed with learning yesterday.

Samin Ishtiaq taught a 1 hour crash course in functional programming to 10/11 year olds at a local Cambridge primary school recently. The course leads up to calculating areas and volumes, which is what the students were learning in maths at that time. This...

Nearly a month ago I visited the NYC ALT.NET User Group in Manhattan. Having been told by Steve Bohlen that I was up against a particularly sharp audience, I decided to do something much different than I had in any of my previous talks.
