About the Conference

Functional programming (FP) has been a hot research topic for over three decades now. However, in the last five years, driven by the need to build massively concurrent systems and to handle big-data in smarter ways, diverse companies - ranging from tech start-ups to financial institutes - are rapidly adopting FP concepts.

Currently, FP is at the heart of every new generation programming technology. Companies are employing FP to actuate more effective, robust, and flexible software development. This has given birth to an extremely vibrant community of functional programmers, who are constantly exploring new and varied ways to bring in FP concepts to the enterprise software development world.

Functional Conf is designed to bring together the growing community of functional programmers under one roof.

First Code Beam Lite Conference in India
Nov 14th, Hosted by Functional Conf

Explore how BEAM technologies, including Erlang and Elixir, are employed in some of the world's most cutting edge development.

In 2019, the conference is structured as follows:

• Pre-Conference Paid Workshops (Nov 13^th)
  • Designing Elixir Systems with OTP by Bruce Tate
  • Applied Haskell Workshop by Michael Snoyman
  • Introduction to Logic Programming and SWI-Prolog by Anne Ogborn
• Code Beam Lite (Nov 14^th): Explore how BEAM technologies, including Erlang and Elixir, are employed in some of the world's most cutting edge development.
• FP Bootcamp (Nov 14^th): A full-day program for Developers, who want to kick start their FP journey. Participants would be able to pick anyone from the following tracks and stick to it for the full day.
  • Haskell Ecosystem
  • JVM Ecosystem
• Apply FP (Nov 15^th): A full-day program, with 3 parallel tracks for Developers, who understand the basics of FP, maybe even practice some FP at work. Helping them understand how they can apply even more FP concepts more at work.
• Mastering FP (Nov 16^th): A full-day program, with 3 parallel tracks for Developers, who already apply a decent amount of FP concepts at work. Developers, who want to go deeper and maybe even become a contributor to a FP language or library.
• Post-Conference Paid Workshops (Nov 17^th)
  • Let's Lens by Edward Kmett and Tony Morris
  • Building a real-time, reliable, resilient web application in one day with Elixir and Phoenix by Andrea Leopardi
  • APL Workshop Intensive by Aaron W Hsu and Morten Kromberg

At Functional Conf:

• Participants can understand the fundamental concepts of FP
• Participants can learn how others are leveraging FP to solve real world problems
• Experts can share their expertise on practical usages and gotchas in FP concepts
• Practitioners can meet peers and exchange real-world experience
