Heroku at JavaZone 2012

Posted by: James Ward on 08/28/2012

I’m really looking forward to being back at JavaZone in Oslo this September! I’ll be speaking about Running Java, Play! and Scala Apps on the Cloud. This session will teach you how to get started deploying Java and Scala apps on Heroku. I’ll be around for the whole conference, so if anyone wants to grab a drink, deploy some apps, or write some code with me, then let me know. See you there!
