Presenting at "Silicon Valley Code Camp 2011"

by Nikita Ivanov 

I think for the 4th year in the row GridGain will be presenting at Silicon Valley Code Camp. With over 400 tracks - this is one of the largest events in the valley (and zero travel for me which is a huge bonus!).

My talk "Distributed Programming with Scala and GridGain" will be held on Sunday, October 9th at 1pm. Presentation will be a new format - zero slides & 100% live coding. As always - nothing is prepared and you'll see everything that goes into creating several cool Scala-based highly distributed applications from scratch.

If you are around come to see my presentation - it's always fun!

Presenting at Scalathon 2011 and Boston Scala User Group

by Nikita Ivanov 

I will be presenting the talk "Distributed Functional Programming Done Right" at Scalathon 2011 hosted at Penn University on July 16-17th. What a great crowd!

Looking forward to catch up with folks from Circumflex and give my grief to good people developing IDEA Scala plugin :) Two days of Scala hacking - I'll probably going to be wiped out for sure in the end.

Right after two grueling days at Scalathon 2011 I will stop by at Boston to present "In-Memory Data Grid with Scala and GridGain" to Boston Scala User Group.

Last time I presented there (a year ago) - it was a great talk!

If you are round Boston and interested in In-Memory Data Grids (and Scala!) - make sure to stop by!
