Monads! European Virtual ALT.NET. Video is now available

Thanks to the excellent Jan Van Ryswyck, the video of my EVAN talk is now on Vimeo here:

It’s very similar to the DDD talk video that I posted before, but I think a little more polished. It’s much easier to follow in this format too.

I start off with a brief introduction and history of Monads, but spend most of the talk deriving a Monad by attempting to do function composition with two Maybe returning functions. I briefly overview the differences between C#, F# and Haskell Monad handling at the end.
