Overview

I wanted to create a directory of all bloggers who write about Scala Programming language with links to their RSS Feeds.

Using this directory I have created a CLI tool using Scala, Typelevel stack (cats-effect, fs2, http4s, decline, Laika) to use the rss feed links to generate the latest news in the scala community that I publish periodically on www.scalanews.net.

Overview

I created a lua library that is able to search for scala pages on Scaladex.

I then used it to create a Neovim plugin and telescope.nvim plugin so that when I am coding using Neovim I can search for and add packages as dependencies.

Introduction to Zio Actors

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 14:14:21 -0800

In this post I am going to do a quick introduction to using the ZIO Actors, a library that implements the Actor model using Scala and ZIO a library for asynchroneous and concurrent programming.

Before reading this post it is recommended that you read my two earlier posts Introduction to the Actor Model and Introduction to Akka Typed Using Scala as I have assumed the reader will be familiar with the concepts discussed in those posts. Some basic knowledge of ZIO is assumed.

Introduction to Akka Typed Using Scala

Sat, 24 Oct 2020 20:32:41 -0700

In this post I am going to do a quick introduction to using the Akka Typed toolkit that implements the Actor model using Scala. As part of this post I will be developing a simple application using Akka. My goal is to highlight what its like to develop applications using Akka and how to get started with it. I will be following up this post with more posts diving into Akka in more details and exploring more of its features and patterns you can use to solve concurrent and distributed applications.

Scale By The Bay 2018 San Francisco

One of the highlights of 2018 was attending and being part of the Scale By the bay 2018 conference in San Francisco. This by far was the best conference I have ever attended.

The conference had 3 tracks covering the functional programming, reactive programming and data science topics. All the talks were of high quality made even better by highly intelligent audience made up of the most talented stars of our industry.
