What this session covers

Explore a mind bending feature of functional programming, how you can easily get started with GPU programming, and learn about under appreciated SQL features that you didn’t know you need.

Having facilitated code retreats for years, I’ve witnessed a myriad of solutions to a single, seemingly straightforward problem: Conway’s Game of Life. While varying constraints often lead to different approaches, the most intriguing aspect lies in the valuable lessons these solutions impart, shaping our programming practices for years to come. Join me as we delve into three distinct implementations of this captivating problem. If you join me for this session, you’ll have 3 new tools under your belt to write code that impress your colleagues.
