Dear Friends, The talk on 'SCALA programming language' is scheduled for today ie. Saturday, June 13 at 4:15pm at 3XL conf room, AppLabs.
Abstract Scala is a blend of object-oriented and functional programming concepts in a statically typed language. Conceptualized and Developed by Martin Odersky, who is also creator of Java 5, Generics and Concurrency in Java. For the engineer, Scala is developed over Java and thus existing Java libraries and appservers can be easily used while compiled code runs on the JVM. For the designer, Scala builds on Functional programming concepts and thus solutions built from components can scale on multi-core systems. Scala is best used for developing software components and for creating Domain Specific languages (DSL). As an additional point, this is the first of a series of events to promote Scala and nucleate a Scala community. -- About the Speaker The Speaker for 'Scala' talk is Mr. Saifi Khan. Saifi is currently contributing to two Open Source projects that are complete Scala/Lift implementations. He will be focussing on: . What is OO good for ? . FP concepts . blending FP with OO . Paramterization . What is Scala ? . What Scala adds to Java ? . What Scala removes from Java ? . Scala vs JRuby . Scala core internals . Type inference . Currying . Side-effects, Monads . Companion object . Scala code discussions While Engineers working on Twincling projects - gongtong and Triage are the immediate target audience. Folks working with PERL or JavaScript will also benefit from the discussions. This is a code intensive program. The participants are requested to get writing material with them for taking notes and interactive problem solving. -- Timings 4:15pm - 7:30pm Venue AppLabs GEC 3XL Conference Room Road no 2, Banjara Hills, near Jubilee Hills check post Please note that there will be security check at the main entrance and you are requested to carry ID proof with yourself. In case you bring a laptop with you, please get the serial number endorsed at the security check. All engineers who are interested in knowning more about this upcoming language are welcome to attend this hands-on workshop. Scala Software and libraries will be made available at the venue on a CD for the benefit of the attendees. Please forward this invitation mail to all the interested Open Source geeks. regards TSNET.
