WJAX09 – Scala & Services: Talking to Twitter
Ted Neward’s talk about the Scala language took place Wednesday morning.

Ted Neward (2008)
.
His goal was to encapsulate the details of the Twitter API and allow the functional programmatic approch to Twitter.
The Scitter should come up with a java client library. This allows any other language such as Groovy to use the API.
After presenting several Slide about his goals, he switched over to Scala source code. As Ted initially mentioned he
intended to show only enough Scala as required to fullfill the goals of writing a Scala Twitter Client library.
The Summary of this talk was:
- the example he showed was far beyond that what I expected. Going through lines and lines of code at a Session is not funny.
- The session did not meet my expectations what I’ve read in the sessions’ abstract.
