 \nFebruary 2012 FDUG Meeting\nDoor prizes to be won!\nPlease register onli
 ne\, but you don't need to bring your ticket.\n6:00pm - 9:00pm (ITC buildi
 ng UNB Campus\, Room ITC317)\nTopic: Parallel and Functional Programming P
 aradigms\nPresenter: Robin Bate Boerop\nDetails:\nTraditional imperative p
 rogramming languages have failed to provide concurrent and parallel progra
 mming paradigms which take advantage of parallel hardware without also pla
 cing heavy burdens on programming correctness and effort. In contrast\, fu
 nctional programming communities have constructed concurrent and parallel 
 programming paradigms which are easy to use and to make correct.\nThis hig
 hly technical talk will explain the problems encountered by imperative pro
 gramming languages (C/C++\, Java)\, and will explain how functional progra
 mming languages and frameworks (Erlang\, Node\, Haskell) have created eleg
 ant solutions. The task of writing a highperformance IRC server will serve
  as an example.\nNo experience with functional programming is required to 
 attend.\n \nSpeaker Bio:\nRobin Bate Boerop [http://robinbb.com] is an exp
 erienced software developer and computer scientist with an interest in tec
 h startups.  He has improved the memory management behaviour in Mozilla so
 ftware. While working for IBM\, his team was responsible for the memory ma
 nagement and concurrency control primitives in the engine of DB2\, IBM's p
 remiere RDMS product. \nRobin has expertise with language design\, compile
 r construction\, assembly language\, operating systems\, parallel programm
 ing\, and large-scale software construction. Much of his work was done wit
 h C++\, but Haskell is Robin's favourite programming language.\nHis tech s
 tartup is Tabture [http://tabture.com]\, a web app that makes browser tabs
  social.\nCheck out the website for more details:  http://www.frederictonu
