Talk 1 - Functional ProgrammingKeith Harrison - Head of Development at NudeFunctional programming has been around for the last 60 years and saw a major resurgence in the last decade through new functional languages such as Clojure, Scala and Haskel. Although these languages have dropped in popularity over the last few years, functional programming is still as relevant as ever.So why do developer still get so excited about functional programming? This talk will show you the benefits of functional programming and how you can start using it today in the language your already using.

Talk 2 - GraphQL - Playground and testingKat Kmiotek - QA Automation Engineer at Pawprint

Sponsors supply money for food and drink.Who are the organisers?TechMeetup is run by Keith Harrison and Joe Wright, who have both worked in tech and run community events in Glasgow over the last few decades.Why are you restarting Tech Meetup?Before covid, Glasgow had a small but vibrant tech scene with multiple events on various topics running each week. Since covid, these events are no longer running. We want to restart Tech Meetup to reboot the Glasgow tech scene and to get a new generation of people attending and running events.
