This Monday's Lambda Lounge see's the first of two talks on the Scala Programming Language.
We will be meeting at the normal time of 7pm at Madlab this coming Monday, ( *16th September)* and will be listening to an *introduction to programming in Scala* by *Lee Kitching*. Scala <http://www.scala-lang.org/> is a multi-paradigm programming language targeting the JVM, CLR and Javascript. As well as a powerful object system, it has extensive support for functional programming including first-class functions, algebraic data types, pattern matching and immutable data structures. The goal of this talk is to give an introduction to the language, highlight interesting features of its type system and provide a comparison to functional langauges like Haskell and F#. Lee's talk will be followed by a deeper dive into Scala by Ian Murray on *Monday 21st October* where we will have a follow on presentation on Scala which will cover some more advanced areas of the language and its API's and tools. As always more details can be found on our website: http://lambdalounge.org.uk/ Sadly I won't be able to make the talk, as I'll be off on Holiday; so James Richardson has kindly volunteered to be on hand to make sure things operate smoothly on the night.
