Scala Async: A New Way to Simplify Asynchronous Code
Featuring Philipp Haller and Jason Zaugg
Scala Async makes it possible to “suspend” at arbitrary points in a block of regular Scala code, and to “resume” from that point later— all without blocking. This not only makes it possible to make concurrent code look sequential, it makes it possible to actually use even the most unfamiliar...

Simplifying Asynchronous Code with Scala Async
Featuring Philipp Haller
Ever wished the compiler could make asynchronous programming easier? Enter Scala Async. Do asynchronous I/O like “normal” blocking I/O, program with Futures and Promises even more naturally!

Futures and Promises - A New Take on Concurrency in Scala 2.10
Featuring Philipp Haller
Scala 2.10 introduces new abstractions to simplify concurrent and asynchronous programming (a.k.a. SIP-14). This talk dives deep into the design and usage of Futures and Promises, as well as their efficient, non-blocking implementation. It also covers the new Try and ExecutionContext types and...
