Details

We are excited for our first Scala Central of 2019 to be hosted at the Expedia Group/Hotels.com offices in Angel.

Firstly we'll be hearing from Greg Dorrell who will take us through Effect Types and then Leszek Sliwko will talk to us about the release/build process in his team.

We also have a space for one more talk, so if you'd be interested in taking part, please get in touch.

Further details are below;

Please find the agenda below;

18:30 - Doors Open

7 pm - Talks begin

Talk 1 - Greg Dorrell

Effect Types: What? Why? Which one?

In the last couple of years, a number of new “effect types” have been created. What is an effect type? When and why should you use them? Also, there’s a few of them, so which one should you use?

This talk will compare them to Futures and give motivation for using them. We’ll take a look at the different options; namely Cats Effect’s IO, Scalaz ZIO’s IO, and Monix’s Task.

Talk 2 - Leszek Sliwko

The presentation is about release/build process we setup in my team. The novelty here was to integrate the images building as a result of a story (i.e. not the code changes). Then the images are moved through environments – such a process guarantees the release on prod is exactly the same system as that which has been seen and approved by business.

Presentation is available here: https://prezi.com/foqqashbe8pz/drone-delivery-queue/

Talk 3 - TBC

8 pm - Food and Drink

9 pm - Pub!

We look forward to seeing you!

Cheers,
Alice
