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.
