• Pick your patterns: Type Level Dependency Injection

• Scala Offline: Lightning talks on non-web apps

  18-19 Apr 2011 in New York, United States

  It's been a while since our last show-and-tell type meetup and I'd like to hear what you are all working on. In particular, libraries and projects that are that aren't web apps or web servers or web frameworks or necessarily web scale.This is a friendly reminder as well and an open call for volunteers to show of their cool new projects for the meetup on April 18th. I've got a handful of things I've been working on and wouldn't mind talking about. How about you? Show it off.

• Scala Primer - Part 3

  14-15 Apr 2011 in , United States

  We'll briefly review fold, map, filter, and Option, covered in the last Primer, and move on to flatMap and `for` expressions. Specifically, how `for` expressions are just another way to write a series of flatMap applications ending with map or foreach.

• Coming to Lift from an MVC background

  28-29 Mar 2011 in New York, United States

  The only thing this meetup needs is a speaker! Either post a message below or contact me privately. Come on, it'll be fun.

• Scala Primer - Part 2

  28-29 Mar 2011 in New York, United States

  We'll be picking up where we left off with fold and moving on to other highly useful, funny-looking concepts. Bring laptops if you got 'em. We'll spend just enough time on tools to make sure everyone can evaluate expressions in the REPL.

• Scala Primer

  16-17 Mar 2011 in New York, United States

  Bring a charged-up laptop if you can, with sbt installed.

If you're coming from out of town, see where others are staying and log your own lodging.Registration opens at 9AM and the formal program will begin at 10AM sharp.

• Up and Running with Simple Build Tool

  31 Jan-1 Feb 2011 in New York, United States

  You may or may not have heard of a tiny but fantastic tool with a fantastic community that provides first class Scala support called sbt, short for simple-build-tool.To get those people get up to speed with sbt up to speed quickly, Doug Tangren will start us off with a high level overview of sbt. After that we'll have a coding session (BRING UR LAPTOPS) so that seasoned sbt users can help those new to sbt try out the environment and transition their scala projects into sbt.

• Scala with MongoDB

  9-10 Aug 2010 in New York, United States

  MongoDB is a non-relational database system with heavy grounding in web oriented application architecture. It provides many features of both key-value & related NoSQL Systems as well as traditional RDBMS' with a focus on scalability and performance. Often described as "document-oriented", MongoDB utilizes a open, binary-optimized derivative of JSON (known as BSON) for it's internal storage and data communication layer.

• Monadologie: Professional Help for Type Anxiety

  12-13 Jul 2010 in New York, United States

  The Monad, of which we speak, is nothing but a simple substance that enters into compounds; simple, that is to say, without parts. --Monadologie by Gottfried LeibnizLeibniz neglects to mention that The Monad must implement map and flatMap, which is why we booked Chris League instead to explain how these things actually work.

• Simple Scala DSLs

  14-15 Jun 2010 in New York, United States

  Lincoln Hochberg from Hot Potato will be talking about Scala language features you can use like options, pattern matching, and implicits to build your own DSLs.

• Introduction to Scala

  24-25 May 2010 in New York, United States

  By now it's been pounded into your head over and over, if you want more speed out of modern processors, you're going to have to adopt concurrency and parallelism (even the suits are talking about it). The problem is, concurrency is REALLY HARD in pretty much all of our most popular programming languages! So why not get an introduction to a new programming language that purports to make this problem manageable?

• What Happened at Scala Days 2010?

  26-27 Apr 2010 in New York, United States

  Scala Days 2010 is this month in Lausanne, Switzerland, and you're going, right?

You didn't?!? Well, then you've gotta get all the details of not only his, but also the 30 or so other talks (well, just the ones that Nathan and I can make it to

• Web Development in the Scala World Outside of Lift with Peter Hausel

  23-24 Mar 2010 in New York, United States

  In December, harryh from Foursquare presented the Lift Framework, the most well known and highly used Scala based web framework. Lift is great, but if you're like me then you like a healthy dose of competition. So where are the other Scala based web frameworks? Peter Hausel (@pk11) knows!Peter will talk about:The work he's been doing to integrate Scala into The Play Framework - which if you ask me (Dustin), is the best thing to come to Java Web Development since Grails.

• Scala Learning Meetup

  14-15 Sep 2009 in New York, United States

  In this meetup we'll break out into groups to work on various prepared activities in Scala programming, which may or may not come together to make some awesome software in the end. We'll need leaders for these groups, people that have some Scala coding experience, to make sure that things move along and also to help decide what sort of software we're putting together. The number of leaders we need depends on the number of people that sign up; ideally the group size will be small (3-5?).

• See Josh Cough Off

  One of New York Scala Enthusiasts' organizers Josh Cough is leaving New York to pursue his academic interests (you'll have to ask him what that means) and we're drowning our sorrows in beer, like usual. This 'meetup' is later and more downtown than usual, but if you want to ask Josh some deep questions about ScalaTest in person this might be your last chance for a while!

• Polyglot Programming on the JVM

  4-5 Aug 2009 in New York, United States

  We're joining forces with the Groovy/Grails meetup to talk about polyglot programming on the JVM. There will be three talks of about 25 minutes each - Peter Bell from SpringSource will discuss Groovy; our very own Nathan Hamblen will discuss Scala; and David Nolen from NYU will discuss Clojure. The talks will be fairly high level, and will focus on the design goals of each language and what sets it apart from the others.More details will follow as they develop.
