Radical Simplification Through Polyglot and Poly-paradigm Programming
This presentation attacks the problem of software complexity and how various modularity paradigms (e.g., object, functions, aspects) simplify complexity and help separate concerns.

Pragmatic Real-World Scala
Jonas Bonér talks about Scala showing the benefits of OO, the type system, closures, high-order functions, immutability, Actors, then using ORM, AOP, DI and Testing with Scala.

Multicore Programming in Erlang
Ulf Wiger shows typical Erlang programs, patterns that scale well on multicore and patterns that don't, profiling and debugging parallel applications and ensuring correct behaviour with QuickCheck.

Haskell and the Arts
This presentation explores the use of Haskell as an art mediumm, specifically the question of whether or note the elegance of functional programming is a good match for the aesthetics of art?

Erlang Concurrency, What’s The Fuss?
Erlang is built on 3 components: language, OTP, and VM. Francesco Cesarini explains the role played by each component in order to ensure Erlang’s highly successful concurrency model.
