Take control of your knowledge portfolio and be in demand! Your command of the top JVM languages; Java 8, Groovy, Scala, JRuby, and Clojure; will set you apart from the rest. This presentation will introduce each of these languages, highlight common ground, and show some stark differences.
This presentation will cover:
How to install each of the JVM languages
Describe the “functionality” of each of the languages
Expressiveness vs. Terseness of each language
How each language handles mutability
How each language handles concurrency
Amazing tricks of each language
Comparison of language typing
Comparison and contrast of language performance
Each language’s killer app
Analysis of the language culture and where to get help?

This presentation will cover an introduction to the framework by creating a basic web application in Scala to get you started.
The Play Framework is a lightweight and stateless web framework that is part of the Typesafe stack, a stack which includes Akka, a reactive message driven toolkit, and the Scala programming language. The presentation will cover an introduction to the framework by creating a basic web application in Scala to get you started. The presentation will also cover the philosophy behind the framework and give an honest analysis on the advantages and disadvantages of the framework.
A set various tools to write reactive, concurrent, fault-tolerant applications and services using immutable data, asynchronous message passing using local and remote actors, software transactional memory, and supervised systems. This entire presentation is done in Java.
Akka is a set of various tools to write reactive, concurrent, fault-tolerant applications and services using immutable data, asynchronous message passing using local and remote actors, software transactional memory, and supervised systems.
Akka is also part of the Typesafe stack, a stack that include the Play web framework, Spray, Slick, and the Scala programming language. This Akka presentation will cover Java style usage of Akka with actors, asynchronous message passing, supervision, and streams
