The guest speaker this time will be Peat Bakke, who will be speaking about some of his experiences building a service with Scala. Or in his words:</p> <p>Scala, Circumflex, and MongoDB</p> <p>Or, why writing everything from scratch is a great way to learn a language, but a terrible way to be productive.</p> <p>This is about an ongoing Scala project -- a part of the Capacity product planning and resource management system. We'll be looking at a few parts of the system, a homebrew ORM for MongoDB, and the guts behind the scenes that handles the calculations, and the Circumflex-based JSON web service.</p> <p>The goal of building these from scratch was to learn, and it continues to be an experiment, so I'm looking forward to everyone's feedback on how to make it better!</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdxscala.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
