On August 1, 2006, I gave a talk to ODYNUG about Common Lisp. It made heads spin and brains explode. These are the lisp sources and slides that I presented.
On August 16, 2006, I gave an experience report to the Omaha SPIN group. It focused on the lessons we've learned at my current employer after a year and a half of using agile methods with a hefty legacy code base.
On October 6, 2006, I gave another experience report. This time my boss was hosting a peer group of developers and development managers. He asked that I give the talk I gave at the SPIN group to them. I reworked the slides and the talk based on my experience back in August, and gave a talk about the things we do at Profitstars that are sort of unique to us.
On October 2, 2007, I gave this talk to ODYNUG about Erlang. It was a very introductory treatment emphasizing on how to read Erlang code. The slides have a few examples of classic functional routines done in Erlang, and the rest is a mostly conceptual overview of concurrency, distribution, and fault-tolerance. All of the code in the slides is included in the tarball along with a couple of simple multi-process examples.
On March 4, 2008, I gave a talk at ODYNUG about OCaml. It is a nice, fast, functional programming language. It is statically typed, but it gets it right. The slides are written using takahashi.xul, so they're Firefox only. I've provided the slide source for everybody else.
