It’s hard to believe another Scala Days has come and gone. This year’s conference was truly awesome, the entire Typesafe team is still decompressing after meeting so many great people, listening to inspiring sessions, and spending time with our very distributed coworkers :)
Scala Days 2014 was testament to how far the language and community has grown in just a year- sessions were a balance of brilliant academic research and compelling enterprise war stories. The audience was a diverse crowd, over 800 attendees hailing from more than 37 countries, ranging from those just getting started with Scala, to some of the leading experts in our field.
There was even a Scala 2.11 movie trailer (courtesy Jon Pretty and Miles Sabin...)
If you missed the conference, or were unable to attend all the sessions you were interested in, you're in luck. We’re working with the folks from Parleys to publish the recorded sessions as quickly as possible. Until those are ready we wanted to share the slides from the presentations while everything is fresh in our memory.
Again, we wanted to say a big thank you to all the sponsors, speakers and our partners at Trifork for making the event possible.
Enjoy and stay tuned for the video recordings!
(a big thanks to Kevin Wright for compiling many of these here: https://gist.github.com/kevinwright/9505828a0dcc0c4c0d56)
