Hello people!
The presenter was presenting himself ?
I could not see the slides.
Next time, be cautious, you have to focus on the slides too.
Sincerelly.

If you do not maximize the video the slides are shown below the video on the web page.
The slides change in sync with the video.

Presentation skills?

Why are these senior and experienced people so bad at presentations? He's about as engaging as a wet towel. Bullet points and text everywhere, he's reading the slides, bad graphics, no passion, no audience interaction. This is a great example of how to send your audience to sleep. Just give out the slides and sit down, your presence is completely unnecessary until you learn how to present.
E language and AsyncScala

Nice presentation and gives a good overview of Actor-based frameworks.
But it fails to mention one of most usable languages for asynchronous programming: E (www.erights.org). It uses more fine grained asynchronous components (Actor = Vat in E, asynchronous componets live in Vat) because of this, much there are much more scenarios where memory could be safely shared between components.
There was a presentation on this language on infoq.com: www.infoq.com/presentations/From-E-to-EcmaScript
I have also implemented concepts from E in Scala (asyncobjects.sf.net/asyncscala).

This is not true. This is a technical presentation and no marketing bla bla. I like the style.
