Lift Framework & How to make an easy use of Cats in your project
Hello,
This time we are going to talk about Lift Framework and Cats Library. Details below:
- Talk #1: Lukasz Lenart "Lift Framework"
During the presentation I want to build a full blown web application using Lift framework to show some of its features like: easy templating, built-in Ajax support, support for Comet and more.

Life hacker with positive attitude but sometimes he's losing his faith in humanity. Still believes in good (people). Java coder coding in Scala on daily basis but without conviction. Fell in love with CSS and Javascript, especially in CoffeeScript. Apache Struts lead developer but no one knows why. Believing that all code you wrote is already @depreacted!
- Talk #2: Pawel Lipski "How to make an easy use of Cats in your project"
There are many introductions to category theory out there, but they unfortunately tend to be not enough oriented on software developer’s daily work. In this talk, in turn, I’ll ditch the theoretical bits completely, instead just showing you how to take advantage of the most useful 10% of Cats, one of the most commonly used functional programming libraries for Scala. We’ll see the most common cases for constructs like monads and applicatives in production code.
From the perspective of category theory itself this will be an introductory material (no prior knowledge & experience needed). It would be just good if you know how implicit params/classes work in Scala and also some basics about type parameters.
