Scala Days 2018

In 2018 I visited Scala Days in Berlin with this schedule. Other than in previous years I missed the opening keynote, which is traditionally on the evening before the main conference starts, because this is not so well compatible with my choice of traveling with a night train, especially because I did not want to miss more than two days of my current project.

I might provide Links to Videos of the talks, if they become available, including the interesting keynote that I have missed, because I arrived on the morning of the first full day with a night train.

So I did visit the following talks on the first full day:

• Functionalist programming language design by Tomas Petricek
• Adding kind-polymorphism to the Scala programming language by Miles Sabin
• Analyzing Pwned Passwords with Apache Spark by Kelley Robinson
• Leveraging Spire for complex time allocation logic by Vladimir Pavkin
• A pragmatic introduction to Category Theory by Daniela Sfregola
• Type safety in the world of graph databases by Michael Pollmeier
• Teaching Scala: A Roundtable Discussion by Ryan Tanner, Neville Li, Maciej Gorywoda, Kelley Robinson, Martin Odersky and Heather Miller
• Serialization Protocols with Scala by Christian Uhl

And on the second full day:

• Keynote: Where Teams Choose: Autonomy, Accountability & Scaling a Platform by Eric Bowman
• Functional interpreters and you by Dave Gurnell
• Effective Scala by Bill Venners and Frank Sommers
• Strings are Evil: Methods to hide the use of primitive types by Noel Welsh
• Full Stack Scala by Trond Bjerkestrand
• Keeping the „fun“ in Apache Spark: Datasets and FP by Holden Karau
• Closing Panel
