At end of the evening we'll gather up and share what we've done and learned that day :)Frequently Asked Questions
I am a novice Scala developer, is this the right event for me? 📚
Yes! One of the best ways to improve your Scala skills is by working on Open Source library and projects!
If you're completely new to Scala / programming, ScalaBridge is a great way to get started!I don't know what projects I should contribute to.. ↔️
We have a list of Scala projects that would love to have some contributions. Other than get-work-done libraries, we have cool projects like game engine, frontend framework, synthesiser!I have an idea for a Open Source project but it's a bit daunting. Can you help? 🏔️
Yes! We'd love to see more open source Scala projects and contributors! We can help you get started and provide technical guidance whenever you need it.Help! I'm stuck outside the building / somewhere!
Joining our discord is probably the best way to be heard!Discord server invite link:

🗣️ Zainab Ali: Taking the plunge: a deep dive into streaming with fs2
We often think of streaming as a niche concern: something that occurs in large scale data-intensive systems, or event driven architectures. But streams are a lot more versatile than you might suspect. In fact, they form the cornerstone of almost every useful Scala application.In this talk, we’ll navigate the rich waters of streaming.
Using the lens of `fs2`, a functional streaming library, we’ll explore how certain problems can be expressed much more easily using streams. We’ll spot the more obvious streams in event-based systems and data processing, webservers and databases, but also discover more subtle streams in time-based processes and concurrency challenges.
We’ll learn what streams are for, how to think about them, when to use them and when not to. By the end, you’ll see a streaming framework as a simple and versatile tool in your toolbox, and will feel confident putting it to use in any area of your codebase.

- 14:18 - Take the TGV to Geneva

Questions
How much is the train fare?
If you book now, it’ll be roughly £230 - £250 depending on whether you’re booking a return.How do I book tickets?
Read our guide for train jammers for a step by step booking process. Is there Wifi on the train?
Yes! There’s Wifi and generally good signal on the Eurostar, TGV, and in Gare de Lyon, where we’ll spend most of our journey.What will we jam on?
Whatever you like! Along the way we’ll contribute to OSS projects, or hack on fun and interesting ideas.I’ve never taken the train in Europe. Is it hard?
Not at all! Taking the Eurostar and TGV is very smooth. The difficult bit is booking tickets (see How do I book tickets? above). The most tricky part of our journey is crossing Paris via the metro, and we'll do that as a group.Why are you going a day early?
We’re going in time for the Scala Days workshops and Scala Bridge. If you’re not attending either of these, we strongly encourage you to spend the day hacking together, or to join in other events. I want to go by train, but can't take this one. Are there other trains I can take?
Of course, although you might not be with other jammers. Our guide for train jammers has some alternative journeys already planned out.📜 All London Scala User Group events operate under the Scala Community Code of Conduct.
