Hi everyone, My following talk proposal has been approved for FOSDEM 2011 [1] so I thought I give subscribers a reason to join the FOSDEM fun this year. :) Another reason to announce this here is to get some suggestions on the 'Common pitfalls in the Vala world and ways to avoid them will also be discussed in this talk' part, though any suggestion is welcome. :)

To: [email protected] Speaker's Name: Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) Title of talk: Vala? Are you kidding me?? Short abstract: Vala is a programming language that aims to bring modern programming language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to applications and libraries written in C. Although Vala is a very awesome language and have been around for a few years already, people are still either scared of it and/or still think of it as highly unstable. In this talk, the speaker will attempt to alleviate these fears and shed some light on the most useful features of this language by sharing a short summary of his two years' experience with this language. Common pitfalls in the Vala world and ways to avoid them will also be discussed in this talk. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 [1] http://fosdem.org/2011/ _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
