Back to [[conference:committee:2015-proposals]]\\ \\ **Title**: C++ A Functional Approach\\ **Proposer**: [[2015: Juan Alday]]\\ **Proposer**: [[2015: Shayne Fletcher]]\\ **Type**: Presentation\\ **Duration**: 90 mins\\ **Description**: \\ We observe that there is much "buzz" in the C++ community surrounding the paradigm of functional programming. There is however, in our opinion, too little introductory information available at this time for the C++ programmer wishing to learn and apply the functional approach. We will introduce the working C++ programmer to some of the concepts and idioms of functional programming.\\ \\ \\ JJ: Juan and Shayne both work for Bloomberg.\\ JJ: Juan writes... It can be either a talk, or if you guys think it is appropriate, a workshop, similar to the ones we give in our firm to quants.
