6 pm – 6:45 pm Taming complexity: modular design with ZIO
Modern applications often form complex systems with a wide range of
responsibilities. As business requirements evolve often what was once a
simple process grows to cover many scenarios and corner cases. Given
enough time, are we doomed to end up with unmaintainable codebase? Not
necessarily. Meet ZIO, a modern functional programming toolbox
specifically designed around the idea of composability.
Speaker: Piotr Gołębiewski
Scala consultant, OSS contributor, Taekwon-do adept and most importantly Dad.

7 pm – 7:45 pm Mythbusting Functional Programming
Functional programming finally gained some recognition outside of academia. It’s being praised and advertised by many modern programming languages, frameworks, and libraries. But at the same time, a lot of misconceptions about the topic have emerged. What does FP even mean in the first place? Is it really that hard as people say? Do I need a math degree to understand it? Do I need FP when I have OOP? Has Java became functional with Java 8? Or was it always functional, but we didn’t know? This is only a small fraction of the questions you’ve might heard or asked yourself. In this talk, I will try to provide a reasonable answer for each of them, and hopefully a bunch of other. No more myths, no more misconceptions, no more confusion.
