Event Details

The Scala Koans: An Interactive Approach to Learning Scala, with Dianne Marsh

 

(NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL BE RESCHEDULED IN JANUARY. Send note to "events AT SRTSolutions DOT com" for more information)

Scala is a language which is both functional and object-oriented. Running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Scala appeals to developers who enjoy a concise powerful language with modern constructs.  While programmers are often attracted to Scala for its productivity gains and reduction of boilerplate code, it's easy to become bewitched by the functional approach.

Koans are small lessons on the path to enlightenment. The aim of the Scala Koans project is to provide an easy learning environment in Scala based on a test suite with tests that the developer must either update to work, or fix the implementations being tested such that they pass.  

Join us and learn more about this increasingly popular language.


About the Scala Koans:
Modeled after the Ruby Koans, the Scala Koans provide an interactive and fun way to learn the language.  The Scala Koans were born at CodeMash 2010 by Dick Wall, and have been growing ever since. An early version of the Koans were presented by Dianne Marsh, Daniel Hinojosa, and Nilanjan Raychaudhuri as a workshop at CodeMash 2011 and by Dianne Marsh at the Java Posse Roundup in 2011. They have also been presented by Dianne Marsh, Daniel Hinojosa, and Joel Neely at the StrangeLoop Conference in St. Louis in September 2011. Numerous others have contributed to the Scala Koans including Luke Amdor, Jeff Hoover, and Tim Taylor. The koans continue to grow.
