18:00 - Grab a drink and take a seat

18:10 - Intro

18:20 - 18:50

Speaker: Michał Pawlik, Staff Software Engineer at Ocado Technology

Topic: Get rid of boilerplate with Scala

About: Writing boilerplate code can be boring and make the code difficult to read, especially during the code review. Some languages are more verbose than others. Scala is one of the languages that are designed for brevity.

In this talk I’ll introduce some of the language design choices that made the language less verbose, yet very expressive and clean when used the right way. We’ll go through some of the type system features like type inference and refinement types as well as language features like case classes and pattern matching.

18:50 - 19:20

Speakers: Józef Pawlikowski - Business Development Manager & Alexander Sosnovskiy - Senior Software Engineer at Elixirator

Topic: What is Elixir and what it can do with concurrency challenges? - sharing Elixirator insights

About: Our guests from Elixirator will bring some examples of programming in one of the youngest and yet unknown languages - Elixir. Józef Pawlikowski - will introduce Elixir to us and share some application examples and Alexander Sosnovskiy will share case study from his experience of making concurrency process in chat server with Elixir for more than million TCP connections per node. There will be some business cases based on Discord, WhatsApp or Pepsi.

See you soon!
