During the talk, we will build a simple web app using Lift and then introduce Akka ( http://akkasource.org) to help scale it. Specifically, we will demonstrate Remote Actors, "Let it crash" fail over, and Dispatcher. Other Scala oriented tools we will use include sbt and ENSIME mode for emacs.

Just a thought . . . If you are interested in this talk you might also be interested in Jonas Boner's Pragmatic Real-World Scala , Core Spring: Developing with the Spring Framework course and John Smart's Java Power Tools Bootcamp
