Never-failing explosion of enthusiasm and talent is what gets us motivated to explore this amazing community in all of its potential. A journey we take through different ideas, technologies, paradigms and languages inspires creativity, growth and pure enjoyment of coding.
To us Scala, Erlang, Haskell, Elixir, F#, Lisp, Clojure, OCaml and many other emerging technologies are more than languages - they are new perspectives on how to understand and tackle challenges of every day work.
Workshops
To continue with our tradition of opening the functional world to newcomers, once again we invite you to join Lambda Academy in a series of free workshops.
As part of our collaboration with AGH and a gesture of general awesomeness on behalf of our speakers, we offer introductory meetings for different audiences and groups.
