"The joy of Scala" - Maxim Novak / Wix
Around eight years ago I started my journey as a developer. Since then, I've played around with many languages and thought that C# offers the best developer productivity. After joining Wix two years ago, I was exposed to the amazing world of Scala and Functional Programming and never looked back.
In Scala the code is much more concise, less ceremonious, immutable by default, combines functional with object oriented, seamlessly interoperates with Java, and many software engineering patterns are already baked into the language. Most importantly - Scala is FUN! By the end of the session you too will, hopefully, convert to Scala and never look back.

This document provides an overview of functional programming concepts in Scala including:
- Scala supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.
- Functional programming avoids side effects and uses immutable data and pure functions.
- Scala supports first-class functions, higher-order functions, and functional data structures like Options and Try.
- Functional patterns like mapping, filtering, and pattern matching help express programs concisely in a referentially transparent style.
Some notes about programming in Scala: it covers Scala syntax and semantics, programming techniques, idioms, patterns. Many Scala features are introduced, from basic to intermediate and advanced. These are not introductory notes, but they assume a working knowledge with some other programming language (Java, C#, C++), object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts, and functional programming (FP) concepts.

Type classes are a fundamental feature of Scala, which allows you to layer new functionality on top of existing types externally, i.e. without modifying or recompiling existing code. When combined with implicits, this is a truly remarkable tool that enables many of the advanced features offered by the Scala library ecosystem. In this talk we'll go back to basics: how type classes are defined and encoded, and cover several prominent use cases.

Scala Intro training @ Lohika, Odessa, UA.
This is a basic Scala Programming Language overview intended to evangelize the language among any-language programmers.
Category theory concepts such as objects, arrows, and composition directly map to concepts in Scala. Objects represent types, arrows represent functions between types, and composition represents function composition. Scala examples demonstrate how category theory diagrams commute, with projection functions mapping to tuple accessors. Thinking in terms of interfaces and duality enriches both category theory and programming language concepts. Learning category theory provides a uniform way to reason about programming language structures and properties of data types.
Scala is becoming the language of choice for many development teams. This talk highlights how Scala excels in the world of multi-core processing and explores how it compares to Java 8.

Function Programming in Scala.
A lot of my examples here comes from the book
Functional programming in Scala By Paul Chiusano and Rúnar Bjarnason, It is a good book, buy it.
Monads and Monoids: from daily java to Big Data analytics in Scala
Finally, after two decades of evolution, Java 8 made a step towards functional programming. What can Java learn from other mature functional languages? How to leverage obscure mathematical abstractions such as Monad or Monoid in practice? Usually people find it scary and difficult to understand. Oleksiy will explain these concepts in simple words to give a feeling of powerful tool applicable in many domains, from daily Java and Scala routines to Big Data analytics with Storm or Hadoop.
Some key features of Scala include:
1. It allows blending of functional programming and object-oriented programming for more concise and powerful code.
2. The static type system allows for type safety while maintaining expressiveness through type inference, implicits, and other features.
3. Scala code interoperates seamlessly with existing Java code and libraries due to its compatibility with the JVM.
This document discusses monads and continuations in functional programming. It provides examples of using monads like Option and List to handle failure in sequences of operations. It also discusses delimited continuations as a low-level control flow primitive that can implement exceptions, concurrency, and suspensions. The document proposes using monads to pass implicit state through programs by wrapping computations in a state transformer (ST) monad.
This document provides an introduction to the Scala programming language. It discusses that Scala is a hybrid language that is both object-oriented and functional, runs on the JVM, and provides seamless interoperability with Java. It highlights features of Scala such as pattern matching, traits, case classes, immutable data structures, lazy evaluation, and actors for concurrency.
This presentation takes you on a functional programming journey, it starts from basic Scala programming language design concepts and leads to a concept of Monads, how some of them designed in Scala and what is the purpose of them
(How) can we benefit from adopting scala?Tomasz Wrobel
Scala offers benefits from adopting it such as increased productivity through concise and expressive code, static typing with type inference, support for both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms, and interoperability with Java. Switching from Java to Scala involves some changes like using val for immutable variables and var for mutable, but overall the syntax is quite similar which eases the transition.
Functions are treated as objects in Scala, with the function type A => B being an abbreviation for the class scala.Function1[A, B]. Functions are objects that have an apply method. Case classes implicitly define companion objects with apply methods, allowing constructor-like syntax. Pattern matching provides a way to generalize switch statements to class hierarchies. The for expression provides a cleaner syntax than higher-order functions like map and flatMap for working with collections, but compiles to calls to these functions. Types like Option and Try are examples of monads in Scala, making failure or missing data explicit in the type while hiding boilerplate code.
Scala is a multi-paradigm programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. It integrates features of object-oriented and functional programming languages. Some key features of Scala include: supporting both object-oriented and functional programming, providing improvements over Java in areas like syntax, generics, and collections, and introducing new features like pattern matching, traits, and implicit conversions.
This document provides an overview of the Scala programming language. It notes that Scala is a multi-paradigm language created in 2003 by Martin Odersky that runs on the JVM. It supports both object-oriented and functional programming. Some key features highlighted include functions being treated as values, pattern matching, case classes, and high order functions. Examples are provided of common functional operations like filtering, mapping and reducing collections as well as using anonymous functions.
How to start functional programming (in Scala): Day1Taisuke Oe
Functional programming involves composing computations like functions in a modular way. Scala supports both functional and object-oriented paradigms. Functions in Scala can be composed through methods like andThen and compose. Higher order functions allow functions to take other functions as arguments or return values. Pure functions always return the same output for the same inputs and avoid side effects. The Monoid typeclass abstracts the concepts of combining elements of a type and providing a default value, allowing new folding behaviors to be defined for types through implicit values. This allows behaviors to be extended to existing types without modifying them.

Functional Programming - Past, Present and FuturePushkar Kulkarni
Functional programming has evolved significantly since its origins in lambda calculus. Key developments include Lisp (1958), ML (1973), Haskell (1990), and more recently languages for the JVM like Scala (2004) and Clojure (2007). Functional concepts like immutable data, higher-order functions, lazy evaluation and currying allow a more declarative style and improved performance. Advances like tail call optimization and parallelism address early performance issues. Future areas include dependent types as in Idris and embracing functional principles in mainstream languages like Java 8. Functional programming changes how we think about solving problems.

"The Enigmas of the Riemann Hypothesis" by Julio ChaiJulio Chai
In the vast tapestry of the history of mathematics, where the brightest minds have woven with threads of logical reasoning and flash-es of intuition, the Riemann Hypothesis emerges as a mystery that chal-lenges the limits of human understanding. To grasp its origin and signif-icance, it is necessary to return to the dawn of a discipline that, like an incomplete map, sought to decipher the hidden patterns in numbers. This journey, comparable to an exploration into the unknown, takes us to a time when mathematicians were just beginning to glimpse order in the apparent chaos of prime numbers.
Centuries ago, when the ancient Greeks contemplated the stars and sought answers to the deepest questions in the sky, they also turned their attention to the mysteries of numbers. Pythagoras and his followers revered numbers as if they were divine entities, bearers of a universal harmony. Among them, prime numbers stood out as the cornerstones of an infinite cathedral—indivisible and enigmatic—hiding their ar-rangement beneath a veil of apparent randomness. Yet, their importance in building the edifice of number theory was already evident.
The Middle Ages, a period in which the light of knowledge flick-ered in rhythm with the storms of history, did not significantly advance this quest. It was the Renaissance that restored lost splendor to mathe-matical thought. In this context, great thinkers like Pierre de Fermat and Leonhard Euler took up the torch, illuminating the path toward a deeper understanding of prime numbers. Fermat, with his sharp intuition and ability to find patterns where others saw disorder, and Euler, whose overflowing genius connected number theory with other branches of mathematics, were the architects of a new era of exploration. Like build-ers designing a bridge over an unknown abyss, their contributions laid the groundwork for later discoveries.

The development of smart cities holds immense significance in shaping a nation's urban fabric and effectively addressing urban challenges that profoundly impact the economy. Among these challenges, road accidents pose a significant obstacle to urban progress, affecting lives, supply chain efficiency, and socioeconomic well-being. To address this issue effectively, accurate forecasting of road accidents is crucial for policy formulation and enhancing safety measures. Time series forecasting of road accidents provides invaluable insights for devising strategies, enabling swift actions in the short term to reduce accident rates, and informing well-informed road design and safety management policies for the long term, including the implementation of flyovers, and the enhancement of road quality to withstand all weather conditions. Deep Learning's exceptional pattern recognition capabilities have made it a favored approach for accident forecasting. The study comprehensively evaluates deep learning models, such as RNN, LSTM, CNN+LSTM, GRU, Transformer, and MLP, using a ten-year dataset from the esteemed Smart Road Accident Database in Hubballi-Dharwad. The findings unequivocally underscore LSTM's superiority, exhibiting lower errors in both yearly (RMSE: 0.291, MAE: 0.271, MAPE: 6.674%) and monthly (RMSE: 0.186, MAE: 0.176, MAPE: 5.850%) variations. Based on these compelling findings, the study provides strategic recommendations to urban development authorities, emphasizing comprehensive policy frameworks encompassing short-term and long-term measures to reduce accident rates alongside meticulous safety measures and infrastructure planning. By leveraging insights from deep learning models, urban development authorities can adeptly shape the urban landscape, fostering safer environments and contributing to global safety and prosperity.

En esta presentación se encuentra la explicación sobre la tomografía Axial Computarizada, se habla sobre su historia, partes, operación general y especifica del equipo, tipos de densidades y sus aplicaciones más comunes y las innovadoras.
This research presents a machine learning (ML) based model to estimate the axial strength of corroded RC columns reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Estimating the axial strength of corroded columns is complex due to the intricate interplay between corrosion and FRP reinforcement. To address this, a dataset of 102 samples from various literature sources was compiled. Subsequently, this dataset was employed to create and train the ML models. The parameters influencing axial strength included the geometry of the column, properties of the FRP material, degree of corrosion, and properties of the concrete. Considering the scarcity of reliable design guidelines for estimating the axial strength of RC columns considering corrosion effects, artificial neural network (ANN), Gaussian process regression (GPR), and support vector machine (SVM) techniques were employed. These techniques were used to predict the axial strength of corroded RC columns reinforced with FRP. When comparing the results of the proposed ML models with existing design guidelines, the ANN model demonstrated higher predictive accuracy. The ANN model achieved an R-value of 98.08% and an RMSE value of 132.69 kN which is the lowest among all other models. This model fills the existing gap in knowledge and provides a precise means of assessment. This model can be used in the scientific community by researchers and practitioners to predict the axial strength of FRP-strengthened corroded columns. In addition, the GPR and SVM models obtained an accuracy of 98.26% and 97.99%, respectively.
