London Java Community : Cloud Computing With Scala And Gridgain November 3, 2010

The topic of this presentation is about using Scala programming language with GridGain framework to provide a simple and productive cloud computing platform.
Scala is a hybrid function and object-oriented language that is rapidly gaining traction in becoming the “next” Java in JVM-based language evolution. GridGain is one of the most rapidly growing cloud development platforms for JVM-based languages.

2/3 of the presentation will be devoted to live coding demonstration of writing basic MapReduce application in Scala using GridGain middleware. All coding during demonstration will be done live. Overview of grid and cloud computing concepts as well as notion of Native Cloud Applications will be discussed. Short intro into Scala language will also be provided.

What problems/challenges will an attendee learn to solve by attending your session?
Attendee will learn how to use Scala - one of the most exciting JVM-based languages - to quickly and efficiently build cloud-enabled applications. They will also learn on how to quickly build simple MapReduce application using GridGain framework.

What will attendees learn by attending your session?
Attendees will learn:
How to build and run simple Scala MapReduce application
How to start and configure GridGain
How to cloud-enable the existing Scala code using GridGain to run it on the cloud
Who should attend your session?
Java developers with a proficient level of Java expertise
Scala developers of all levels
Developers interested in practical aspects of cloud computing
What basics should attendees know before attending your session?
Working knowledge of Java
Basic understanding of distributed programming concepts
No Scala or cloud computing experience is required

About 1/3 of the presentation will be devoted to overview of grid and cloud computing as well as crash-course into Scala programming language. 2/3 of the presentation will be devoted to a live, hands-on coding demonstration of building simple MapReduce applications in Scala using GridGain.
