Pattern Matching

This month, Zach Cox (http://twitter.com/zcox) from Pongr (http://www.pongr.com) will talk about pattern matching:

Pattern matching is a key feature in Scala. To say that it's like Java's switch statement on steroids would be a gross understatement. We'll explore what it is and when you would want to use it while writing your own applications. Like many other deep concepts in Scala, you can also exploit pattern matching to create simple, concise APIs that other developers will enjoy using.
