October Scala Meetup

Preliminary agenda

SBT crash course, part 2 (Michal), last time we didn't covered scopes and multi-module projects. Thus this talk will cover those topics.

Type Classes (Frantisek), I will introduce type classes. What they are good for, how they work and why you should use them.

If you want to prepare some talk, please add:

• talk title, your name and approximate duration (w/o discussion time)

If you are interested about some topic, please add:

• topic of interest, description what exactly you're interested in

Leftovers from previous meet up:

Maybe talks:

• interesting things I found while fighting compilation errors (Fero) - 20min - but I'm just beginner so the target audience are beginners: extractors in pattern matching, either type instead of exceptions (we use it in one project and it's really nice), how operator syntax works, partial functions, @tailrec

• Dispatch (Fero) - 20 min - I know most people hate it. After some annoyance I came to peace with this library. But there is also https://github.com/stackmob/newman which seems to be better and today I worked with play.api.libs.ws.WS which is easier as well

Interests, does anybody is able to prepare talk about these topics:

• Akka
• Play workshop
• Lift workshop
