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.


It’s a friendly community event for everyone - from those just “checking it out” to recognised Scala experts who have been developing it for years. This diversity means you can learn everything you need to know about any aspect of the Scala language or the Lift Web Framework.

Learn from the experts
Join Lift creator David Pollak, father of Scala Martin Odersky, Jonas Boner, the brain behind Akka and many others passionate about Scala for 2 days of learning and discussion!
