Scala Programming for Java Developers: A Beginner's Guide

We are happy to announce that Neha Sardana will be our special guest for this month's meeting.

This presentation is designed for Java professionals seeking to explore Scala, a powerful language that merges functional programming with object-oriented principles. Neha will introduce key syntactic differences and similarities between Scala and Java, easing the transition for Java developers. We will discuss Scala's type inference, immutability, and concise syntax, which contribute to more readable and maintainable code.

This presentation will also explore Scala's interoperability with Java, allowing for seamless integration into existing projects, and cover advanced features such as pattern matching and higher-order functions. By the end of this talk, attendees will understand how to use Scala to enhance their programming capabilities and build scalable applications.
