If you are into functional programming and new functional languages we have a good little conference called Mostly Functional going on @ Turing

http://mostlyfunctional.com

We have two presentations on languages targeting the Erlang VM, Elixir and Joxa, as well as other goodness...

(Disclaimer, I am the organiser)



Oh, and if you buy a ticket by Sunday you could win a FREE pair of conference pyjamas with the attractive slogan 'Old programmers never die they just become Mostly Functional'

(Shameless plug...)


Whoa! Are those going to be recorded and made available? I would love to see the presentation on Building A Robot Army Of Raspberry Pis!


Yeah, erk, well reminded, I must get onto that. I am organising the event, and doing that talk and I haven't finished writing the software yet...


Self-serving self promotion: I work for a small little shop that does conference recordings, so If you need help figuring out that side of things, you can shoot me an email at chris at intelliquestmedia dot com.

We're based in the States, but the owner is a Brit. I'm sure he'd jump at an excuse to head back and do some recording in the UK.


I would absolutely love to attend this, but I don't think I could justify an international trip right now (getting married in 1.5 months). What are the chances you'll do another one next year?


Well Turing is an annual event (http://turingfestival.com) and I usually organise something on the Fringe @ Turing - it varies from year to year. Last year it was a CEO to CEO event, the year before there was a mini-Erlang factory and a Lean Startup day. Best thing is to follow @turingfestival on twitter and me @gordonguthrie and mebbies @mostlyfuns. Mebbies we will do 'it' again, mebbies we won't, prolly something(s) else or related...
