The Power of Composition - Scott Wlaschin 

I've been programming since the days of punch cards. Of the hundreds of instructors I've read or watched in all that time, this guy is the clearest. He has a brilliant talent for making the intimidating and abstract seem understandable and practical. I highly recommend his book, and all his other talks. If you need to get a handle on typed functional programming for real-world problem domains, there is no better guide. In particular, if you want to learn Haskell and aren't a mathematician, consider starting with Wlaschin and F#. You'll have much more chance of succeeding if you have already grasped the fundamental concepts from an exceptional teacher like Scott while using a less intimidating language.

Wow. This is probably the single best summary of functional programming that I've seen so far. Thank you.

Woah this guys is amazingly clear

Praise Scott Wlaschin. I finally get monads

15:50 they say Excel is a functional programming language… I wish it had a pipe syntax. So many nested functions!

I think there are more things you should forget like exceptions and null pointers. Especially null pointers

NICE

When Scott mention how to make FizzBuzz general solution at 48:57 before started talking about Monad and Bind. I'm kinda confuse. Is that mean I can do something like this with Bind? Original implementation : let FizzBuzz n = n |> carbonate | 5 "FizzBuzz" |> ifUncarbonateDo (carbonate 3 "FizzBuzz") |> ifUncarbonateDo (carbonate 5 "FizzBuzz") |> carbonateRemaining To Bind implementation : let FizzBuzz n = n |> carbonate | 5 "FizzBuzz" |> Bind (carbonate 3 "FizzBuzz") |> Bind carbonate 5 "FizzBuzz") |> carbonateRemaining

07:46 bless you mate

is there a javascript equivalent of this guy

the public API doesn't talk about bananas

Give that man a cough drop good lord

I love his talks, but he's GOT to stop nervously clearing his throat, especially at the start! After giving tons of talks, he ought to have practiced away the habit by now.
