 Triangle Java Users Group presents:

    Cloud Computing: GridGain + Scala + Zero Deployment

 Presented by:

   Nikita Ivanov

 Monday March 21, 2011
 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
 Red Hat/Raleigh
 1801 Varsity Drive, Raleigh, NC
 TriJUG (http://trijug.org) meetings are hosted by JBoss

 Presentation summary:

    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.
