About us
We are a bunch of software developers interested in discovering Scala, learning about new techniques and frameworks and meeting other Scala developers in the Vienna area. Our aim is to meet regularly in 4 week cycles and share knowledge and experiences about the Scala programming language and its ecosystem.
We our Google group for communication, so make sure you subscribe to it to be informed: http://groups.google.com/group/scala-vienna
We post our code to: https://github.com/scala-vienna
We are on Twitter as @ScalaVienna, we use hashtags #scalavienna or #vsug.
We are part of a worldwide network of Scala meetups: http://scala.meetup.com/
Developers from all skill levels eager to learn more about this great language are welcome! Come on and join us!

Actors? Again? Yes ... with some Acid!
We will address the misconception that actors are about concurrency, why you would write your own framework and the challenges of maintaining code over a decade. Leucine answers to these issues. It is a dependency-free typed actor framework that runs on the JVM, JS and Native alike. It gives you the tools needed for stashing, timing, back pressure, monitoring and more while at the same being so simple that you can modify and extend it yourself.About the Speaker
Ruud was born in 1964 and started programming at the age of 11 (HP25). With a great love for electronics he build his first 6502 based computer at 15. Subsequently he completed his Master in Electrical Engineering in 1988 and in Applied Physics in 1989 both in Delft. The PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics came in 1993 from the RWTH Aachen. After one postdoc at the University of Amsterdam he started the consultancy company Beta Research BV in 1995 in the Netherlands and a comparable company Beta Research GmbH in 2023 in Vienna. During his life he programmed in different languages like Basic, Pascal, C, C++, Java, Dart, JavaScript. The last 10 years he works mainly with C for embedded software and with Scala for anything else.Join us to explore all this, enjoy a life coding session and solve some puzzles together.
