And if you can't make the SDForum talk, Bill Venners is giving two separate Scala talks at Silicon Valley Code Camp on Nov 8-9 at Foothill College:
http://tinyurl.com/4ftuqy Bill's Scala talks are only 2 of the 28 talks in the Java track so far for camp: http://tinyurl.com/yt8nnt Registration is free and will be open right up until the weekend of the camp. Because we already have 80 technical sessions submitted, we are planning to close session submission on October 16. If you would like to lead a Java technical session, there is still time to submit it. Anyone that registers on the site for camp is allowed to submit a session.
