3 points

9 years ago

Hi, some days ago I gave a presentation about Scala, I focused on basic things of the language as well as some advantages and disadvantages, the idea is to present a general overview (practical) of what you can do and what you could see in Scala projects.

I would really like to get honest feedback of the presentation. like the topics covered, how I covered them, anything in general would be useful. The video is long (1 hour) then if you don't want to invest too much time, I would appreciate if you listen to at least one topic.

The topics covered are (very briefly):

- Unified Types

- Strings

- Type Inference

- Higher Order Functions

- Currying

- Case Classes

- Algebraic Data Types

- Pattern Matching

- Error Handling

- Option

- Weak Types

- Strong Types
