ScalaSyd Reboot - Episode 3

Almost 3 years after the last ScalaSyd event, we're back in 2021!

2021 will be a year full of ScalaSyd events!
We’re planning to have an event every month, at the beginning of each month.

If you want to give a talk, you can:

• Create an issue with your proposal in our Github repo: https://github.com/scalasyd/scalasyd
• Contact Jules Ivanic either on Twitter (https://twitter.com/guizmaii) and/or by email at jules.ivanic@gmail.com (I’m faster to answer on Twitter!)

We’re interested in everything around Scala!
Don’t be shy!
Come talk to our friendly community about your discoveries, your work, or anything you’re passionate about! 🙂

You can join the Australian Scala Community on Slack here: https://join.slack.com/t/scalamelb/shared_invite/zt-oi7bi1zb-WpnPocyf2S7tQA4EFMKPpg

How to survive algorithms in Scala [Aussie edition]
William Narmontas
@ScalaWilliam / https://scalawilliam.com

A mention of an algorithm tends to conjure up images like 'i++' and 'a[x] = a[x-1] + a[x-2]' which come from the classic trinity of Python, C and Java. In 2020, Scala's immense growth has risen the bar from simply writing Java in Scala syntax, to thinking in immutable style.
In this talk, you will learn about my journey with algorithms in Scala and the educational website "Scala Algorithms".

Who is William?

William has been working with Scala for nearly 8 years, all the way from low-level performance optimization to architecture; his focus has mostly been in finance where conciseness plays a big part.
