Hello Scala friends! It’s time again for our monthly meeting. Whether you’re a newcomer to Scala or an experienced expert, we’d love to have you join us. This month Rob Norris will give us a quick overview of "Nil, Null, null, Nothing, None, NaN". It is the first in a series of beginner focused talks planned over the next months. Rob will also provide us with an update on the new cats project, a functional programming abstractions library. Dave Rostron will follow with an overview of his recent explorations using shapeless to represent N-Dimensional Generic R-Trees. Don't miss this special meeting where we unveil the PDXScala discounts for ScalaDays and LambdaConf . Hope to see you there!
