Talks

Skunk: Functional PostgreSQL without JDBC with Jesper Öman
Skunk is a purely functional, non-blocking PostgreSQL library for Scala which doesn't use JDBC. In this talk, we'll give a brief overview of the library and live code a small application using it.

About Jesper:

Jesper has been programming since the 80s and professionally for over 25 years. He started out with Java development but has focused on Scala and functional programming during the past 10 years. At Magine, he develops and maintains the backend services supporting the Magine video streaming platform.

Pragmatic ZIO with Lachezar Yankov
ZIO is an effect system for Scala with built-in support for dependency injection, dedicated error channel, resource management and other features that benefit modern business applications and microservices. In this talk we will go through the practical side of ZIO's dependency injection mechanism and the ability to encode domain specific errors in its error channel.
About the speaker:

Lachezar is a Lead backend developer for NetEnt Slots team at Evolution, he has developed software professionally for 2 decades and in the past 4 years has fallen in love with Scala. He is a firm believer that type safe languages and effect systems allow us to produce highly performant and durable systems with great architectural design and minimum outages.

Food
Beverages and some light food will be served at the event; when you RSVP to the event you will be asked for allergies or food preferences.
