Summary
In this presentation, Lex Spoon discusses the Scala programming language. Topics covered include the origin of Scala, the philosophy behind Scala, the Scala feature set, Object-Oriented and Functional programming in Scala, examples of Scala code, writing DSLs, how Scala is converted into Java, Scala performance, Abstract Data Types, unapply, actors and partial functions.
Bio
Lex Spoon divides his time between two posts: he works at EPFL in Switzerland on the Scala team, and at IBM Research in New York on X10. He thus has a lot of recent experience with advanced programming languages that play nice with the existing Java world.
About the conference
JAOO is the premier European developer conference on software technology, methods and best practices. The conference presents in-depth presentations and tutorials by researchers, engineers and trend-setters in software engineering and technology.

...the show stops abruptly after 32:46 of video. I guess I have to learn the rest of Scala by doing some manual reading, then :-)
Anyway, Scala really looks intriguing. -
Ah, now it works, and as the InfoQ guys said, I probably had a connection hickup. Excellent!
-
First time I have got the feeling that my functional programming courses at university were good invested time. :-)
-
Well, should add English courses.
-
You guys should 1) have an audio only version 2) set up a podcast for them.
Very few people want to sit and watch a 44 min interview. But I wouldn't mind downloading it and listening while I work out or drive.... -
+1 for that.
-
+1 for podcasts
-
+1 for video downloading on a free format
-
I'm on OS X behind broadband and the playback stops at about the 3 minute mark. Sure would like to download it in a format that is independent of this flash player.
Or, why not syndicate the content on google video (with mp4 download support), etc simultaneously. I bet it would do more good for your brand recognition than cost you in pageviews.
