Talks & Drinks

Hey Scala fans!

We have two great new speakers, who will give two very interesting talks!

We have Nilanjan Raychaudhuri from TypeSafe who already did great "recipes" at the Scala Days and we have Arnout Engelen who will speak about his experiences with akka-persistence and event sourcing.

Play-ing with Akka and Slick like a Pro (Nilanjan Raychaudhuri)

"Ok you know how to Play. You have built few applications using it, now what? I say we go Pro. I will show you how Play developers are solving real world problems by mixing Play with Akka and Slick.

For example, how do you manage distributed application state in Play? Or how do you handle blocking operations? I will share their best kept secrets, patterns and tricks. So come down to Play!"

Building reliable applications with Akka-persistence (Arnout Engelen)

"You will be shown how Akka-persistence can be used to implement event sourcing in a real-world system. This will be Illustrated with examples of patterns and pitfalls.

We will see how this can lead to elegant solutions for failure recovery, reliable message transport and separation of command and query logic."
