Hands-on Scala

In this workshop we will take some common everyday tasks and learn how to program it using Scala.

There will be short (ten to fifteen minutes) lecture sessions followed by hands-on exercises where the attendees will pair up to implement tasks and in the process learn the strength, expressiveness, conciseness, and the power of Scala.
