BASE Meeting #19 - Monday 14th Dec, 7pm at Twitter HQ

IMPORTANT. Twitter HQ has changed, and is now at:

Twitter, Inc.
795 Folsom St., Suite 600
San Francisco, CA 94107

See the link for location information, or type the address in to Google maps. The new offices are only a couple of blocks from the old ones, a little further from Caltrain, a little closer to BART, and right behind the Moscone center.

This month, we will have lightning talks (thanks to Dave Bricetti for organizing these) followed by our main event, and some time for socializing at the end of the meeting.

The lightning talks will be:

- Vlad Patryshev, “Implementing Small Categories in Scala”
- Dave Briccetti, BirdShow, a Lift Application That Shows Flickr Photos
- Jorge Ortiz, “Some Java Wrappers”

The main talk will be on Griffon, a rapid application development framework along the lines of Grails but for desktop applications. Griffon is able to mix many JVM based languages for a multi-language polyglot programming experience, and Scala is one of those peer languages. Andres Almiray will talk about Griffon and in particular the features that are of interest to Scala developers, including mixing Scala with other languages.

Finally, I am delighted to announce that (for this month only unless we can find a long term sponsor) we will have pizza and beer. Consider it a holiday treat.

I look forward to seeing you all there on Monday 14th December at 7pm. Please plan to arrive a little early, as you will need to sign in at reception before attending the meeting.
