Scala Lift Off 2010
The Scala LiftOff comes to Skills Matter! We are thrilled to partner with David Pollak, Kaliya Hamlin, Jennifer Holmes and the London Scala Community for a 2 DAY Scala LiftOff! This 2 day Unconference will enable you to delve deep into Scala and Lift, and to learn and share experience. Stay tuned for information, on this page, or follow updates on twitter @skillsmatter#scalalol.
