Talking Puffin! This month, our own Dave Briccetti will talk about his project, Talking Puffin - a Twitter client written in Scala, which just had its 1.0 release. Dave will cover the following topics, among others: A small Scala wrapper around the Java Twitter library, Twitter4J Generating Web page XML constructs using functional features A Lift widget for the Flot jQuery plotting library, with new pan and zoom support Word frequency counting, for finding often-used words, and frequently @mentioned screen names Using Scala functional features to analyze Tweets Ajax and Comet with Lift Running under Jetty and Tomcat This talk should be suitable for Scala beginners to intermediates, and experts may enjoy educating us in the code walkthroughs. In addition to this main talk, we already have a couple of entertaining lightning talks lined up. If you want to fill the third lightning talk slot for this meeting, please let us know on the BASE google group, or just come with a lightning talk ready to go (5 minutes limit, any subject is permitted). Thanks, and see you there. As always please plan to arrive a little early to get into the meeting (security means the doors must be kept locked, so we will be running down to the lobby every few minutes to let people in until 7pm). LinkedIn is kindly providing facilities and refreshments for the event. Check below for information and map: http://tinyurl.com/BaseLinkedIn The room is the main big presentation area called "Unite" at 2025 Stierlin Ct. just up the stairs past the entrance. As you enter from Shoreline Blvd, and drive down Stierlin, this building will be on your right BEFORE you get to the big courtyard. UPDATE: LinkedIn is kindly providing pizza for tonight's meeting |
