Scalatra, Swagger, and ScalaTest 2.0

This last meetup of the year will be our most content-packed meetup ever. We will cover Scalatra, Swagger, and ScalaTest. It will be long. It will be deep. It will be high in the sky with KIXEYE -- a new and awesome venue, using Scala for gaming. Amazing Swagger and Scalatra tools for RESTful revolution will be made clear; and ScalaTest 2.0, which makes our world run on TDD, will be unveiled. Doors open at 6:00pm. KIXEYE is on a 19th floor of a posh downtown skyscraper with lobby security and a guard with a gun and a pile of NDAs on the 19th floor. The NDAs are standard visitor's NDAs in a successful software company -- you just promise to respect KIXEYE's stuff as confidential. The talks will start at 6:30pm SHARP as we have A LOT to cover. Here are the three talks!

Rapidly developing API's with Scalatra, Ivan Carrero

Scalatra is a blazing fast, async Scala web micro-framework. It combines the power of the JVM with the beauty and brevity of Scala, helping you quickly build high-performance web sites and APIs. It offers the fastest zero-to-hero-in-no-time web framework on the JVM, through its flexible, extensible human-readable DSL. It offers server push support with minimal configuration effort on the JVM. It also helps you to find unicorns and beer.

Client-focused development with Swagger, Tony Tam

Swagger is a specification most commonly used for visualizing your REST API. It is supported in a number of REST frameworks, which means your documentation and sandbox UI can always stay accurate. Even your boss can try your API with swagger!

A huge benefit of swagger is how the spec can drive both the client and server development. We'll walk through that process, and show the tools to create a scalatra-based server API and client with full Swagger support.Tony is the CEO and technical co-founder of Wordnik, a San Mateo-based company focused on understanding the meaning of text. Ivan is a backend architect at Wordnik, a San Mateo-based company and the lead developer on the Scalatra project
