A talk on 'SCALA programming language' has been planned for 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).

This is the first of a series of events to promote technical understanding of Scala and nucleate a Scala community.
