#The Functional Programmers Cheat Sheet for NDC Oslo 2014

This year NDC Oslo has a full three-day functional programming track with an amazing lineup. If you agree that the future of programming is FP, use this as your "auto pilot" guide on what sessions to attend.

Cheer for sessions on Twitter using the #ndcoslo and #fptrack hashtags.

[The full agenda (including non-fp sessions) is here].

Overview

A city's tech ecosystem is comprised of local government, business, and tech talent. From the the business-side, Nashville is exceptional in its concentration of successful healthcare companies. On the tech-talent side, Nashville has one the healthiest and most active technical user group ecosystems in the world. This grassroots anomaly has resulted in an unusually vibrant and cohesive tech community. In the past the linkage between the tech community, the business community, and local government hasn't been very strong. There are many reasons for this, and there are several efforts underway to improve the coordination.

Below are listings on Nashville user groups, conferences, and umbrella groups. Many tech events are listed on the technology community calendar at http://cal.nashvl.org.

User Groups

A user group is a community that forms around a particular technical topic such as Ruby, Microsoft Azure, or Linux. Typically user groups meet once a month on a consistent night of

Installing Erlang

Mac

• Using Erlang Solutions prebuilt DMG file here. Quick and easy, but doesn't install wx which is needed for the GUI tools such as observer.
• To install on Mac with wx support follow this "Getting wx to work with Erlang on OS X".
