London Scala Users' Group:Experiences from a Real-World Scala Project
Experiences from a Real-World Scala Project
In this talk for the "award-winning" London Scala User Group, Chris Turner explores how a team of mixed experience Scala developers built and delivered a real-world Scala project in a highly agile, multi-language environment. Chris will give a tour through what they did, how they did it and what we learnt along the way.

A rough breakdown of my initial thoughts on the structure, something along the lines of:

- Overview of the project
- Team background
- Technologies chosen
- Scala in an agile environment
- Working with developers new to Scala
- Mixing Scala with Java
- Challenges faced
- A look at some of the code and patterns
- What we learnt
- The final result
- What we would do different next time
