Building data processing applications in Scala: the Snowplow experience

Alex Dean will talk about building Snowplow, an open source event analytics platform, on top of Scala and key libraries and frameworks including Scalding, Scalaz and Spray. He will highlight some of the data processing tricks and techniques picked up along the way, particularly: schema-first development; monadic ETL; datatable-based testing; data transformation maps. He will also introduce some of the Scala libraries the Snowplow team have open sourced along the way (such as scala-forex, referer-parser, scala-maxmind-geoip).
