Venkat Subramaniam introduces Java developers to Scala, highlighting its syntax, strengths, and functional programming capabilities.

Are you a Java developer who's curious about Scala? Well, then this talk is for you. We start with an overview of the language, consider some its key strengths, and (of course) take a look under the hood at some serious syntax and code! Venkat Subramaniam, programmer and author, has experience working and teaching in a bunch of different languages (from C++ and Java to Ruby and Erlang). His passion for software development eventually guided him to Scala. Why should we look at a language like Scala? Venkat explains simply, to an audience at SF Java, "because it's fun!" **For more free Scala developer resources: marakana.com/s/tags/scala
