# Functional Programming in Kotlin


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 19, 2024
- **Time:** 10:00–12:00 (120 min)
- **Room:** Workshop room M1(60)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

In an increasingly complex software landscape, the functional programming paradigm provides a perspective of clarity. This workshop offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of functional programming fundamentals using Kotlin. Attendees will delve into pure functions and immutable data. We'll see how the Kotlin type system facilitates domain modelling and we'll cover techniques in functional abstraction. We show how state and effects are done the functional way, and we conclude with an exploration of the "Functional Core, Imperative Shell" strategy.

No functional programming experience required.
