Speaker: Adam Warski (Software Mill)
Title: Simple, fast & agile REST with Spray.io
Short description. Spray, once a stand-alone project, now part of Akka, is a toolkit for building and consuming REST services.
In the live-coding talk we will build a simple REST service with Spray, and then consume it with a Spray-based client. No code can live without tests, so we’ll take care of that as well.
We will see that new routes can be added very quickly, how to use type-safe query and path parameters, as well as how to create custom directives, reusing existing code. All in a functional, asynchronous setting!
You’ll see that building REST services can be really simple - no containers, minimal boilerplate, fast development time!
As a bonus - Adam has some not-only-Scala-related stickers.
Speaker's short bio. Adam is one of the co-founders of SoftwareMill, a company specialising in delivering customised software solutions, and daily I mostly code using Scala and Java. He is involved in a number of open-source projects, such as Hibernate Envers, ElasticMQ, Veripacks and MacWire. I have been a speaker at major conferences, such as Devoxx, JavaZone, JFokus or Jazoon.
Apart from writing closed- and open-source software, Adam is interested in improving the way we use functional and object-oriented programming. When not coding, He enjoys spending time with his family, hiking in the mountains or playing tennis.
