From object-oriented to functional-domain modeling
Despite the introduction of lambda expressions in Java 8 allow to conveniently mix the object oriented and the functional paradigms, developers are used to think to business domain modeling in terms of classes and object and almost never in terms of functions. The purpose of my talk is filling this gap, showing the advantages of functional idioms also in this field. For instance designing a domain made by immutable objects make it inherently thread-safe and developing side-effect free code allows to better reuse it.
Attendees can expect to learn the most commonly used patterns in functional domain modeling and how they can use these patterns to complement their object oriented knowledges.
