Scala (pronounced Skah-lah) is a scalable programming language targeting the JVM and the .NET platforms that is quickly gaining acceptance in a number of different domains and application areas ranging from trading to web programming. OpenSplice DDS is a high performance data distribution technology powering some of todays most challenging distributed systems in sectors including transportation, defense and finance. Scala and OpenSplice DDS share the same objective, namely simplifying the construction of complex systems, as a result their combination results in a very powerful platform for developing distributed systems. This Webcast will introduce you to Scala and OpenSplice DDS, and will take you through a series of examples showing how Scala can be used in combination with OpenSplice DDS to build distributed systems.
