Introducing Scala
Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages, enabling Java and other programmers to be more productive. Code sizes are typically reduced by a factor of two to three when compared to an equivalent Java application. Read more
Scala Days 2011 — Call for Papers
Created by bagwell on 2010-11-26. Updated: 2010-11-26, 11:17Scala Days 2011 is coming, June 2-3 at Stanford University in California. Now is the time to submit research papers and reserve the date in your calendar.
Scala Days 2010 was a throughly enjoyable and successful event. Over 150 academic researchers and professional developers got together to share advanced research results, new ideas and explore some heavy duty commercial Scala applications. Scala Days provides a unique opportunity for researchers and commercial Scala users to transfer leading edge research into production systems or share practical know-how on how to get things done more effectively. A place to meet the leading experts from both communities.
Scala Training
Created by bagwell on 2010-11-24. Updated: 2010-11-24, 23:31More Scala training in Europe and Mountain View, California, USA. The courses are designed to be a fast way for an experienced Java programmer to start coding in Scala. These courses are excellent for developers or systems architects wanting to learn about Scala and need to understand how it can fit into their development tool-bag
The European courses have been designed by Martin Odersky and will be delivered by him and Iulian Dragos, while the course in the USA is given and designed by Bill Venners and Dick Wall.
You can find more about the courses and how to register on the Scala Solutions site.

Scala 2.8.1 final
Created by admin on 2010-11-09. Updated: 2010-11-09, 19:31A new stable release of Scala is available for download! Many thanks to all our contributors and testers. You can find the new Scala 2.8.1 on our Download Page. This new release addresses a large number of bugs, and introduces some additional improvements, noticeably in the Scaladoc tool. The new Scala 2.8.1 has been designed to be fully binary compatible with the previous version 2.8.0.
Scala 2.8.1 RC4
Created by admin on 2010-10-26. Updated: 2010-10-26, 11:45We have a new release candidate for the upcoming 2.8.1 release: Scala 2.8.1 RC4 is available from our Download Page. This release candidate addresses one last-minute regression found in RC3 and one Scaladoc glitch, but is otherwise identical to the previous RC. We will wait one more week to allow developers to test RC3; if no further issues are found, the final version will follow.
Please help us with the testing of this new release candidate, and let us know of any issues you may detect, or of any binary incompatibility issue that you may encounter. You can find the list of improvements in Scala 2.8.1 below. This release is intended to be fully binary compatible with version 2.8.0.
