Scala - What's New and Interesting?

Let's take a look at some of the cool new stuff that we can use. This presentation will assume basic Java knowledge and no Scala knowledge is required.

Our presentation will do a quick little intro, and then we will proceed right into some of the new features.

  • Trait Parameters
  • New Implicit Forms for Typeclasses
  • Inferable Parameters
  • Extension Methods
  • Creator Applications
  • Actual Enumerations and Abstract Data Types

Again, worth reiterating, no previous Scala knowledge required. Bring questions and your curiosity!
