Description

SeaFunc is Seattle. SeaFunc is functional. Functional language. Functional programming. We shall attempt to adjust your software, as there is something wrong. You're in a C funk. Get out of your C funk.

The Mothership lands at 8 pm on Wednesday, every 2 weeks, alternating between Seattle and the east side. Venues include:

  • Ralph's grocery in Belltown
  • Ruby's restaurant in the University District
  • Overlake Red Robin in Bellevue

Check the recent postings for the current schedule. The yahoo calendar is not used. Here are some Details on some SeaFunc venues. To receive timely meeting announcements by e-mail, including where we will be meeting, subscribe to the mailing list.

For the uninitiated: "Functional Programming" (FP) treats computation as the symbolic substitution of functions. Solving problems by making changes to program state is often avoided. Common Lisp, Scheme, Standard ML, OCaml, Haskell, and Clean are examples of FP languages.

Anyone interested in the design or use of advanced programming languages - functional or not - is encouraged to come. We've been meeting consistently since June 2004. SeaFunc aims to be the premiere group in the Seattle region for advanced programming language paradgims. If you think there must be more to life than C++, Java, and C#, please join us!

As someone who lives and works regularly in both the Java and the .NET worlds, I can tell you for a fact that either one will get you hired. Demonstrating

... Anyone who says that people can't get hired to do software in the USA is lying to you, or they're just misinformed and dwelling on gloom and doom.
