In The Brain of Jan Machacek: Spring in Scala
Spring in Scala
In this Spring in Scala talk, Jan Machacek will start by comparing Scala to the other languages on the Java platform. Find out that Scala code gets compiled to regular Java bytecode, making it accessible to your Spring code. You will also learn what functional programming means and how to see & apply the patterns of functional programming in what we would call enterprise code. In addition to being functional language, Scala is strongly typed language.

The second part of the talk will therefore explore the principles of type systems. You will find out what polymorphic functions are, and what the Scala wizards mean when they talk about type covariance and contravariance. Throughout the talk, there will be plenty of code examples comparing the Spring bean in Java with their new form in Scala; together with plentiful references to the ever-growing Scala ecosystem, the talk will give you inspiration & guidance on using Scala in your Spring applications. Come over and find your functional mojo!
