Video – Sharing 2 years Scala experience

March 2, 2017

Presentation at Voxxed Bristol 2017
In January 2015 we started on a new project using Scala with a team which had hardly any Scala experience. In this talk I share insights and experiences during a 2-year journey of using Scala/Akka in a real project, how the team learned Scala and slowly found it’s way into functional programming. It will include some best practices, pit-falls and lessons learned in both using Scala.

Some of the technologies we used are Akka, Spray, Finatra, monads.

The slide sources are available in my repo.

All sessions of Voxxed Bristol are available on Youtube.
