Talket: Essence and Fundamentals of Scala

Scala is one of the most popular alternative languages on the JVM. In this talk, we are going to look at what makes this language so interesting: A strong foundation in functional as well as object-oriented programming, combined with a powerful type system. We'll look at how these principles have shaped the language and how to put them to use in practice.

Talklet: Effortless Domain-Driven Design - The real Power of Scala

Can we avoid "stringly-typed" code? Is it possible to write "self-documenting" software? Do we need defensive programming? How can we write fewer tests without sacrificing quality?
I want to show you that by taking advantage of the Scala type system and its ability to effortlessly build a Domain Specific Language we can write code that is easy to understand, maintain, and extend.
