SCALA 101
Announcing SCALA 101 - the new training we are organising together with our partners from Ocado Technology!
Scala is a modern object-oriented, functional statically-typed language running on the JVM. Scala is becoming increasingly popular for a lot of tasks like data processing, backend services, parallel and distributed computing or just anywhere Java could be used. Scala is used by companies such as Ocado, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, The Guardian, Starbucks, VMware, Verizon and many others. Learn some of the most common language features in this beginner to intermediate course.

VASSIL DICHEV
Vassil Dichev has been working as a developer, consultant, development support and trainer since the end of the previous century. He has worked with J2EE and later on with Spring, Hibernate and XSLT. Vassil has also experimented with Aspect-Oriented Programming and dynamic languages like Ruby and Python. During his ongoing search for a more expressive language he found Scala in 2008 and found out that it’s also pretty pragmatic. After working on a couple of open-source projects like the Lift web framework, Vassil decided has wanted to work with Scala professionally and he has been doing that since 2011. Vassil has been trying to spread the word about Scala by presenting at Java2Days, jPrime and Questers Tech Events.
