CQRS and Scala

with

Jamie Pullar

and a lightning talk from

Norbert Radyk on spoiwo

CQRS or Command Query Responsibility Segregation is a popular design pattern used across many different languages.How well does it integrate with Scala? Does it play nicely with Futures and Akka? Over the past several years I have been building up templates and patterns for use in the building of Scala services. I now wish to expose them to the world, hopefully for the benefit of all of us!

AND

Spoiwo

This will include overview of issues functional programmers face when using the Apache POI library (the standard way to do it in Java) and presentation of

Spoiwo - a DSL-style wrapper library over apache POI, which would allow generating Excel spreadsheet in the functional manner i.e.:

Sheet(name = "new sheet",

row = Row().withCellValues(1, 1.2, "This is a string", true)

).saveAsXlsx("workbook.xlsx")

We will, as always, also be heading to the Slaughtered Lamb pub afterwards.

A big thank you, to those managed to attend the presentation despite the lovely sunny weather outside! I had a great time and got a lot of positive feedback, which I'd like to that you about. It's great to know that the direction I've taken and the work that has been done is appreciated by the Scala development community. Should you wish to play around and try Spoiwo, you'll find it here: https://github.com/norbert-radyk/spoiwo I've put the presentation in the documents directory. Also even more interesting might be going though a quick guide examples which illustrates number of Apache POI Busy Developers' Guide examples rewritten in Spoiwo (here: https://github.com/norbert-radyk/spoiwo/tree/master/examples/com/norbitltd/spoiwo/examples/quickguide) Finally if you have any comments, questions or would like to constribute to the project, please let me know on: [masked]

Thanks once again!
