Hi,
On Thursday 26 May, Brian Marick is giving a keynote at XP2016 at the
John McIntyre Conference Centre, Pollock Halls Campus.
Title: "Bringing XP to functional programming (and vice versa)"
The abstract begins with:
"XP, like everything else, contains traces of its history - traces
that, to an outsider, seem arbitrary. The same is true of functional
programming (FP). The histories of XP and FP have had little influence
on each other. As a fan of both, I think that's a problem. Possibly
it's more of a problem for FP: I see XP insights being painfully and
expensively rediscovered."
Brian has written 4 books:
The Craft of Software Testing
Everyday Scripting with Ruby
Programming Cocoa with Ruby
Functional Programming for the Object-Oriented Programmer
