Introduction to Functional Programming (part 2) - Jim Duey
Jim Duey will be providing the second in his series of talks introducing functional programming. Jim is an experienced FP mind that can often be found speaking at conferences on various topics like clojure, monads, etc.
Functional Programming in Ruby - Danny Purcell
Danny is a Software Engineer working on big data problems. His current obsession is Ruby and he is warming up to Clojure.  Danny will discuss Ruby as a transitional language moving from imperative to functional programming techniques.
New Attendees
Welcome!  This is an easy meetup to get involved with.  There are no functional programming experience expectations or prerequisites of any kind, though some talks are more advanced than others.  Jim's talk is a great way to begin infusing functional programming ideas into an existing programming skill set.
