Overview

Scala eXchange 2014, December 8th-9th

ScalaX

The whole Scala picture

If you're interested in learning the latest developments in the Typesafe stack, you're catered for, with numerous talks on Akka, Spray and Play. But the Scala eXchange will also showcase lesser known libraries and projects from around the globe.

With over 50 speakers and four tracks you'll find a talk or panel discussion around every corner. So whether you're interested in the Typelevel, want to figure out how to move your team from Java<>Scala, or hear how Netflix is using Scala - there's something for you.

Brilliant minds on stage

Brilliant Minds On Stage at scalaX Expect to bump into some of the world's most recognised Scala experts in the world. Did we mention we've got Martin Odersky? Probably. Alongside Martin, our other keynote speakers are Dean Wampler, Lars Hupel, Rúnar Bjarnason. Head to the programme tab for the full list.
