Monoids and Functors and Monads, oh my!

There are many unfamiliar terms that you run into when exploring functional programming. Some of these terms have to do with naming structures that are not generally given a name in other styles of programming. Some common examples of these structures are monoid, functor, and monad. You can think of these as "design patterns for functional programming". This session will give you an understanding of the big idea behind each of these patterns and where you might apply them. There's a good chance you're already using some of them!
