Scala meetup #5 - On the road (to Novi Sad)

We are going on a road trip! :) And this time we are visiting Novi Sad. And we are going to have two shorter talks.

Lecture #1:

Theme: Functional programming principles

Speaker: Mirko Francuski (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirkofrancuski), Scala Developer @ Bakson/Ticketmaster

Description: What is Scala and where it's used? Why should you want to learn the principles of Functional programming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming) and Lamda calculus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus)? You’ll hear 3 different approaches from 3 different lecturers in 3 different languages - Scala (http://www.scala-lang.org/), JavaScript (https://www.javascript.com/), Java (https://www.java.com/en/).

Lecture #2:

Theme: Scala implicits: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Speaker: Tijana Dojčinović (https://rs.linkedin.com/in/tijana-dojcinovic), Scala Developer @ Freelance

Description: You will learn what are implicits and how (not) to use them. What design patterns implicits solve and how are they mostly used in libraries. Why are they a such a powerful tool in the right hands? How can you get into ‘implicits hell` with some misuses. All of the talk will be followed with nice examples from practice. And with some exotic ones. ;)
