Functional Vilnius 7: It's F# time!

Hello functional people,

We are excited more than ever to announce our next meetup, because we are lucky to have some Big Names on our speaker list this time.

Speakers and talks

Thanks to the Build Stuff 2015 conference, many software development experts are going to be in Vilnius next week. We have managed to lure in some F# enthusiasts speaking at Build Stuff to also come enlighten us and give us a view of functional programming from their camp!

Rachel Reese, Type Providers

Our first speaker is Rachel Reese, who’s among other things a math geek, an F# MVP and a big voice in the F# community.

She will introduce us to a very cool feature of F# called Type Providers, which can be used to achieve type safety when interfacing with external entities.

Phillip Trelford, Generative Art in F# and OCaml

Phillip Trelford is a very early F# adopter and advocate and the co-author of F# Deep Dives.

He will entertain us with a talk on generative art done functionally! Expect some pretty pictures and elegant functional code.
