DEV Labs 2017. Online Scala development milestone. November 25

We continue to experiment with the formats and themes of Soft Labs events. November 25, we invite everyone to an open meeting dedicated to the development of Scala. Let's talk about this language from a historical perspective, and also consider a few examples of its use for solving actual problems.

The program of the event includes two presentations:

"Scala Language: Past, Present and Future." Speaker - Vladimir Sonkin

Let's talk about the reasons for the emergence of the Scala language and its impact on the development of the industry and on the Java language. Let's touch on the most important technologies created using Scala, such as Akka and Spark. Let's look at the problems of the language and talk about how these problems can be solved in the next version of Scala 3 (Dotty). Let's discuss the prospects of the Scala language in the future.

“Scala, SQL and NoSQL: an old friend is better than new two”? Speaker - Alexander Breyman

Who to entrust your valuable data - a proven relational database or a modern “web-scale” database? How to process data - on the server, on the client, and on the server, and on the client, or neither there nor there? If the choice is made, is it possible to change your mind when half the project has already been developed? And who of these three is that old friend who is better than the new two?

To participate and access the recordings of speeches, you must register . Participation is free.
