We'll meet tomorrow, 7:30pm at Heysan: 301 8th Street Suite 270, San Francisco (second door on the right after coming up in the elevator). David Pollak is the speaker and he'll preview the talk he will give next month at CUFP.
""" Buy a Feature: An Adventure in Immutability and Actors Speaker: David Pollak, Lift Web Framework Abstract: I will discuss the functional programing paradigms that we used to build Buy a Feature, a multi-user, web-based, real-time, serious game. These paradigms include Actors to manage concurrency, event streams as the sole mechanism for gameplay, and various immutable data structures that are composed based on the event streams. I will also briefly touch on the Scala programming language and lift web framework. I will then discuss the experience of adding new team members to the project, the kind of defects in the application (hint: none are concurrency related), the experience of adding new features, and a general discussion of how well functional paradigms translate into a real-world web application. """ David's blog: http://blog.lostlake.org/ Lift: http://liftweb.net/ The talk will be shorter than most of our past ones, so we'll follow it up with a fishbowl discussion and everyone is invited to participate. BayFP meetings are free and open to all, although we ask for $5 if you have some pizza.
