Busy Java Developer's Guide to Scala: Thinking

If you're a Java developer and you want to get into Scala you first have to address how to start "thinking in Scala".

In this presentation from JAXConf2012, Ted Neward will show you how to do just that by helping you figure out functional approaches, yet without abandoning objects. Additionally, Neward will review some classic GOF patterns, as well as start exploring new Scala patterns.

Pedro just wshat was that "lotto" function which you tried to define earlier? What is it supposed to do?

Great guy, great presentation. Audience sucks though!

[shirankao]

The lotto example could be done with a simple one liner, including his enhancements. No idea why he picked such complicated code.

Great presentation. But the guy is kind of rude sometimes.

No response to the police brutality bit?  Instant F- to the entire audiance.
