GeekUp - Liverpool

Apologies for not getting any details of the Erlang talk but I only put it together today! If we're only starting at 7:30 it might be better to just let Hakim talk, otherwise there'll be no time for general chat!

Anyway the title is "Why Functional Programming? - An Attempt to Justify Erlang's Existence." Following on from Chris Alcock's F# talk at the .NET group the other day I'll try to get across how a functional programming language like Erlang can help write concurrent programs, and why concurrency is becoming so important.

I've posted the slides for the Perl talk to
