Akka: Simpler Scalability, Fault-Tolerance, Concurrency & Remoting through Actors
Jonas Bonér (AkkaSource)
Presentation: Akka_ Simpler Scalability, Fault-Tolerance, Concurrency _ Remoting through Actors Presentation [PDF]
We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction. Akka is here to change that.
Harnessing Java with Scala
Thomas Lockney (PDXScala, DorkbotPDX, Triactive), Trenton Lipscomb (Amazon Web Services, LLC)
Presentation: Harnessing Java with Scala Presentation [PDF]
We provide you an introduction to the Scala programming language through its powerful capabilities to integrating with Java. We will demonstrate how Scala can be an effective means of exploring Java libraries such as JAXB, HttpClient and Hibernate. We will show why Scala is our preferred harness, with capabilities beyond Java, Beanshell or Groovy.

Presentation: High Wizardry in the Land of Scala Presentation [PDF]
Scala is an intensely powerful language. One of the most obvious ways in which this manifests is the syntax, which is wonderfully amenable to internal DSLs and flexible APIs (not to mention endless reams of obfuscated sources and fanciful operators). Despite the superficial flash of Scala's syntactic skin, its true power lies in the type system and in the language's deep semantic constructs.
Lift: Quick and Fun
David Pollak (Lift)
The Lift Web Framework provides an advanced set of tools for quickly and easily building real-time, multi-users, interactive web applications. Lift is a hybrid web framework built on Scala. Lift derives its features and idioms from the best of existing web frameworks as well as the FP & OO features in Scala. Join David as he builds a multi-user, browser-based chat app in Lift.
Rewiring Android with Scala
Nathan Hamblen (Meetup)
Presentation: Rewiring Android with Scala Presentation [ZIP]
The Android platform and Scala language are home to some of the most exciting software progress in the greater Java ecosystem. Why not use them both together? The Android development kit's command line tools make the platform easily adaptable to a programmable builder like Simple Build Tool, while Scala's deep interoperability with Java ensures that nothing is lost in the translation.
Scala in Practice
Alex Payne (BankSimple), Coda Hale (Yammer, Inc.)
Scala is in production today. Hear from developers at Twitter and Yammer of their real world experience deploying Scala.
Scala Summit

Specs & Scala, Tips and Tricks for a Friendly DSL Syntax
Eric Torreborre (NICTA)
Presentation: Specs _ Scala, Tips and Tricks for a Friendly DSL Syntax Presentation [PPTX]
After a short overview of the specs BDD library you'll learn how specs leverages the unique features of Scala to provide: a textual specification of the software to develop, flexible matchers for expectations, a concise api on top of the Mockito Java api, data tables which look like real tables in the code and much more!
The Seductions of Scala
Dean Wampler (Think Big Analytics)
Presentation: The Seductions of Scala Presentation [PDF]
Scala is a hybrid object-functional language for the JVM. Java programmers can easily migrate to Scala as an improved Java, then learn to exploit its powerful support for Functional Programming. Developers from other languages can exploit the JVM's power and rich libraries using a state-of-the-art language. Come learn why Scala is seductive; why it meets the needs of the modern developer.
Why Scala?
