The full Lambda Jam Chicago schedule is now available!
July 8-10, 2013
I’m exited to be a part of this great opportunity for idea sharing across functional language communities. In addition to keynote speakers (Joe Armstrong, Gerald Sussman, and David Nolen), every morning will have nine sessions in three concurrent session paths, but what distinguishes this conference is fully half of each day is devoted to active participation in practical application of a half dozen of today’s most influential functional languages. And I have it on good authority there are going to be ground-breaking hands-on F# sessions you do not want to miss.

The Joy of Flying Robots with Clojure – Carin Meier
Monads and Macros – Chris Houser and Jonathan Claggett
