Mario is a senior software engineer at Red Hat working at the development of the core of Drools, the JBoss rule engine.

He has a huge experience as Java developer having been involved in (and often leading) many enterprise level projects in several industries ranging from media companies to the financial sector.

Among his interests there are also functional programming and Domain Specific Languages.
By leveraging these 2 passions he also created the open source library lambdaj with the purposes of providing an internal Java DSL for manipulating collections and allowing a bit of functional programming in Java.

Monadic Java

LOCATION: Luzern
KEYWORDS: Concept, Research, Technology

AGENDA:17:15 - 18:30h: Talk incl. Q/A

SPEAKER: Mario Fusco   COMPANY: Red Hat
SLIDES: 160217+18_monadicjava.pdf

Category Theory is to functional programming what GoF design patterns are to object oriented programming.
Since Java introduced lambda expressions, time is arrived also for Java developers to learn something more about functional programming patterns.

Monads are probably the most expressive (and very likely the most misunderstood) of these patterns.
So the purpose of this talk is to explain monads, clarify with very practical examples how and when they should be used, underline their advantages and show how they can be implemented in Java 8.

LEVEL OF TALK: Intermediate
