We have 3 great event topics for you, but can't decide which one to explore first. Please, help us!
- Go on App Engine
http://golang.org/
https://developers.google.com/appengine/
It's a relatively new language from Google with interesting concurrency mechanisms. It recently got Google App Engine support, which is what we intend to explore in a full-day event.
- OOP in Scala
http://www.scala-lang.org/
Scala is a tight mix of solid concepts from OOP and FP. In this event we'd like to ignore FP for a bit and focus on the excellent OOP part of Scala. We'll explore how Scala's object-oriented features differ from Java, as well as how they interoperate.
- Clojure
http://clojure.org/
Clojure is a “modern Lisp” that favors simplicity in its every construct. It's also chauvinistically functional, even when working with Java APIs. If you didn't grok FP in Haskell, Clojure is your second chance. It will force you into functional thinking like the forgiving nature of Scala never will.)))))
