====='''Concepts of Functional Programming: In Search of Purity'''=====
Functional Programming has gained a lot of momentum in recent years.
It has a long history dating back to the 1930s.  Many new functional
programming languages and features are popping up everywhere.  As
developers, we can no longer ignore it.

Learning the fundamentals of FP will transform the way you think, and
help you to build more scalable and robust software in any language.
This is an introductory presentation targeted to people that are
interested in learning about functional programming.  The focus will
be on the concepts of FP, which are language neutral.
