Our 5th meeting, at ThoughtWorks.
Meeting Topic:
1) JavaOne and ScalaLiftOff Trip Report
Lots of interesting stuff at these two conferences this month. I'll give you a rundown on what happened, including a brief description of what's coming in Scala v2.8. I summarized the changes for Scala v2.8 in a blog post after the Bay-Area Scala Enthusiasts meeting where Martin Odersky discusssed what's new.
2) DSLs in Scala
I'll talk about the tricks for writing "internal" and "external" DSLs in Scala, which provides powerful facilities for DSL creation. I'll walk through the examples I created for the DSL Chapter of my book.
Note: You must RSVP with a real name so we can give your name to Aon security in order to enter the building after normal working hours. Thanks!
