Michael Sperber from Active Group

Dr Michael Sperber is Managing Director of Active Group GmbH, which develops customised software exclusively using functional programming. He is an internationally recognised expert in functional programming and has been using it very successfully in research, teaching and industrial development for over 20 years. He is co-organiser of the well-known developer conference BOB, co-founder of the blog funktionale-programmierung.de and has written numerous specialist articles and books on the subject. Together with Herbert Klaeren, he wrote the textbook "Schreib Dein Programm". It is an introduction to the development of programmes and the associated basics. The focus is on construction instructions that promote the systematic construction of programmes, as well as abstraction techniques that enable the construction instructions to be implemented. In its emphasis on systematic construction, this book differs dramatically from most other introductions to programming.
