Mar 2, 2017Video - Sharing 2 years Scala experiencePresentation 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.

In Januari 2015 we started on a new project using Scala with a team which had hardly any Scala experience. In this talk I’d like to 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, pitt falls and lessons learned in both using Scala and the interoperability with Java and Groovy. Some of the technologies we used are Akka, Spray, Finatra, Json4s, Neo4j.

conferencedevoxxpresentationscalaNov 11, 2016Video - Talk to your Home!Quicky presentation on Devoxx 2016
OpenHab is a free open-source framework to automate your home. With probably over 100 bindings available for OpenHab, you probably already own something you could automate with OpenHab. My own home is automated using KNX, but it is also connected to OpenHab for a simple UI and as a continuous playground. In this quicky I’ll show how easy it is to control your OpenHab installation via Siri. [Sorry Android-ers, the Google Voice API is not open yet, so this is (at the writing of this paper) not possible yet with Google Voice.] With a few small steps it is possible to control your home with some basic commands, but you can also ask your home for the status of things like the temperature in the living room. I’ll demonstrate live controlling my home from the Devoxx stage.

conferencejfallpresentationscalaMay 16, 2016Presentation - Gettings started with cool IoT stuffPresentation on NextBuild 2016
There have been plenty of session already about Raspberry Pi’s and Arduino’s, but that’s old-school already. I want to show you what cool devices are currently available or will come available shortly and how to get started with those. One of the devices is the ESP8266. I’ll explain what hardware you need to get started and I’ll demonstrate how to quickly start developing with a ESP8266, from a basic blink to an Over The Air update of your firmware and connecting it to the cloud. Other devices I’ll try to cover are the RedBear DUO, a wifi and Bluetooth-LE device which I just got in today, and Riots.

Scala is the fastest growing language on the JVM. It’s both OO and Functional and has build-in support for easily writing concurrent application to maximise the use of all your resources.
Want to learn about Scala and get started right away? Then this university session is for you!
Via live coding, I’ll show you how to setup a new project and you’ll learn thought code about many Scala features like Traits, Case Classes, Pattern Maching, Implicits, Currying, Lambdas, etc, but also about SBT and how to use Scala in a Java project. Bring your laptop, with SBT and Scala preinstalled, so you can follow along!
