Scala Coding Dojo

For the November Dojo, we will explore the world of spiders - those which crawl. We will have a brief introduction to the rules and challenges of crawling, and a hands-on session where we will have to save our spider hero from the dark corners of a website.

The challenge:
You are going to implement a well-behaved crawler who will be everybody’s friend and a good netizen.

What to expect:
Once you are here you will get a copy of Nature. We strongly encourage you to form pairs, so bring a friend or/and get to know a perfect stranger as you embark on a mission to save your spider friend.

Schedule

6.00pm Socialise, eat pizza, discuss this evening’s problem
6.30pm Split into groups and start the dojo proper
8.00pm Show and tell - discuss what was learnt
8.30pm Pub - TBD

If you can, please bring a laptop with you with a Scala development environment ready to use. The most common ones are the Scala IDE in Eclipse (http://scala-ide.org/docs/user/gettingstarted.html) and Intellij (http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/scala.html)

If you have any comments, please add them on the meetup.com site.
