Recently I started a local user group called the WfPG - Winnipeg Functional Programming Group. The mandate is simple: Learn Functional Programming paradigms and languages, in a friendly and helpful setting.
So much of the time when learning Functional Programming, one is faced with a feeling of inadequacy (at least that's how I feel). The online community can be divisive and just downright demeaning to its members at times. Hence, I thought, why not bring together people willing to learn and share out from behind the veil of anonymity and sit them in a room together.
The video from our first meeting has been posted, feel free to skip ahead to around the 6min mark for the main topic. If you are in the Winnipeg area and are interested in becoming a member, please become a member of our Meetup.
