John Cavnar-Johnson, “Functional Code That Even Your Server Can Understand”

No, not that kind of server. Have you ever imagined writing functional code that any waiter or waitress (that kind of server) could understand? One of the core tenets of domain driven design is using the ubiquitous language of your users. How often do we really succeed though? For this talk, I’ll use my favorite functional language, F#, with an interesting assist from one of my favorite font features, to write a simple restaurant reservation system that my favorite server can understand. What could we do if normal people could read our code and verify that we have understood the problem domain?

John Cavnar-Johnson is a software developer/architect working as a Principal Consultant for Improving.
