Androids Dream of Monadic Sheep

Do you like...

  • Expressive programming languages?
  • Aggressively mobile APIs?
  • Software marketplaces that are not a cross between the movies Brazil and Evita, with Phil Schiller shoving Madonna off a balcony to pacify the crowd with multitouch gestures?

If you answered YES to any two of the above, then you'll LOVE Androids Dream of Monadic Sheep, the next New York Scala Enthusiasts Meetup. In this overview of Android development in Scala, we'll cover the standard Android SDK setup, the android-plugin for the Scala builder simple-build-tool, and the Scala source for an Android application that takes event pictures and uploads them to Meetup. Finally, we will install the application to a Droid and upload pictures of our Meetup.

"Boom."

    Don't panic everybody: I've scheduled a Functional Alcoholics Meetup after this one to ease you down slowly from the Android high:

    Looks awesome! I have been playing with android and scala and wish I could attend this meeting. If ever you come to London, I could try to organize a meeting via the android meetup. If anybody is interested, this post can help setup android/scala/eclipse:

    Thanks for the link, Carl! I'll send people there that have questions about Eclipse. Not sure when I will be in London, but we are going to broadcast the talk from here: http://www.livestream.com/nycscala

    Did Nathan's screencast work? I was going to watch part of this again, but I couldn't find the archived footage.

    Yeah, good question. I am certain I had it set to record the live stream, but now there is nothing showing in the channel page.
