Ben Kyrlach will be presenting:
Programming With Algebras
In this talk we’ll look at how to solve problems using functional programming by constructing algebras. Along the way we’ll learn about algebraic data types and maybe a little category theory.
HOLIDAY POTLUCK!
Kata Night! – Find Your Match
On Tuesday we will exploring the world of pattern matching through the use of katas. There will be a brief talk on the basics of patten matching, then we will divide up into small groups to try our hand at a specially chosen kata. To finish up the meetup we will have each group present their findings/solution. Please bring your laptop and your favorite functional language.
Here is the kata we will be using:

Lenses From First Principle
In this talk we’ll dive into lenses from a foundational perspective, morphing from traditional object oriented programming techniques to a functional programming methodology. We might even discover a few useful monads in the process.

INTRODUCTION TO EVENT STORMING
Event Storming is a group design and planning approach. It is useful to get the “Big Picture” when starting a project or feature set and also works well for Retrospectives and even Detailed Design. The results of Event Storming can be used to plan your Story Mapping exercises.
Event Storming has the extra benefit of establishing a common language between Domain Experts and Developers. It creates a system design skeleton that is understandable and usable by a broad group of stake holders. A Domain Event is something that happened in the system that is interesting to a Domain Expert. For Example, “Item Added to Cart”, “End of Month Occurred”, and “Request Email Received”.
This presentation will:
Each of these is powerful, but often difficult to explain. Separately or together they make building large complex systems more sustainable.
Event Storming is a breakthrough approach, because it provides a painless way to introduce DDD and CQRS without the buzz words.
Carin Meier will be presenting:
The Joy of Stochastic Gradient Descent
We’ll take a look at the joys of Deep Learning from its simple, elegant fundamentals to its feats of impressive power. Along the way, we’ll discuss how Deep Learning is changing how we approach programming, communicate with each other, and even what it means to be human.
