Explore the complementary nature of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Functional Programming (FP) in this insightful 53-minute conference talk by Mario Fusco at Devoxx. Debunk common misconceptions about OOP and discover how its core principles of polymorphism and encapsulation can harmoniously coexist with FP's strengths in immutability and declarative style. Learn why experienced developers should master both paradigms, understanding when to apply each approach for optimal problem-solving. Gain valuable insights into the evolution of programming paradigms from the late 20th century to the present, and how the rise of multicore CPUs has influenced the growing interest in Functional Programming. By the end of this talk, acquire the knowledge to effectively combine OOP and FP techniques in your codebase, enhancing your ability to choose the best tools for each programming challenge.
