Event Breakdown

Gary Short	Not everything is an object
We’ve all been trained to be OO programmers, universities have taught that way for years. OO development is most suited to those problems that can be described by hierarchies of related objects sending messages to one another and modeling state changes. However, not all problems can be described in this way, and with the advent of multi-core processors, we could be seeing the dying days of OO programming. In this presentation, I’ll show you why OO programming is not the most suitable paradigm for solving all problems and why it certainly isn’t the best paradigm for taking advantage of multi-core processors. Using real world examples, this presentation will go beyond the basic introduction to the functional programming paradigm and demonstrate those problems best solved using a functional approach, including those of concurrency.
