Bay Area Scala Enthusiasts

SF Scala is a group for Scala users who may also be interested in frameworks such as Play and Lift. We meet to discuss best practices and how the technology is being used successfully by organizations. BASE covers the San Francisco Bay peninsula and south bay. Meetings are normally held on the second Monday of every month. Visit our discussion board. BASE events are coordinated with SF Scala, which covers San Francisco. We ask speakers to present their talks at both user groups, if they can. If you would like to present a technical talk about Scala, or how Scala is used in your organization, please contact one of the organizers. This group is by programmers, for programmers. If you are primarily a business person, interested in how Scala can provide your organization a competitive edge, you might be interested in Scala for Startups.
