What's next?

I stopped with Scala. It is really powerful, amazing and flexible language but now I can not find its use in everyday work. It doesn't mean that it was wasted time. I think this lecture broadened my horizons significantly. What's next? For some time I'm interested in performance tuning in Java. It just so happens that it was talk about this on Warszawa JUG meeting recently. The Speaker had prepared program that simulates load encountered in High Frequency Trading applications. He showed how can be the performance affected by setting various JVM parameters. Application code is available on GitHub. In the near future I'm going to try this.
In addition next week I'm going to Krakow for the GeeCON conference and after that I'm going to describe my impressions there...

It's time to dive into Scala

After about two years experience in Java, now it's time for something new. I have tried a little bit of Groovy and it was really captivated me but I'm not entirely convinced by idea of dynamically typed language. Therefore I decided to try Scala which is statically typed language. Furthermore Scala provides full support for functional programming. It's all sounds great! I want to describe my attemps and reflections associated with this language on this blog. Sorry for my english, it's poor because I do not have any practical experience with it, and this is yet another reason for creation of this blog. I will be grateful for all the comments and feedback on both the Scala and my english.
