Scaladex represents my first foray into open source contributions, and it has fueled my passion for Scala ever since. I will provide a comprehensive demo of Scaladex, delve into the intricacies behind the application, and share my experiences working on it. Additionally, I'll highlight my role as a Google Summer of Code 2024 mentor with Scala Center, where I am contributing to two Scaladex-related projects: "Scaladex: New Artifact Page" and "Scaladex: Displaying Information from POM Files". This session aims to inspire you to consider Scaladex or other projects from Scala Center as your next open source endeavor. Join me to discover the potential and impact of contributing to the Scala community through Scaladex. ⭐ Speaker ⭐ Kannupriya Kalra is a functional programming enthusiast and Scala developer with 9 years of experience in building scalable software solutions. Currently a Software Engineer at Sky in London, she develops and maintains critical backend applications using functional Scala. She has previously contributed to Scala projects in various organizations in India, focusing on data engineering. Her expertise includes Scala, Akka, and big data technologies. As a Google Summer of Code 2024 mentor with Scala Center, she contributes to Scaladex and Scala CLI projects. Learn about her on LinkedIn. 🗣️Nicolas Rinaudo: The debatably Free monad ⁠Free is something I've wanted to understand for quite a while, but could never quite figure it out. I’d essentially given up on it until a friend of mine, known to be particularly fond of pithy statements, told me `Free` is merely the defunctionalisation of Monad in its most uncomfortable configuration. He didn’t add what’s the problem? but it was clearly implied. The odd thing though is that after playing with this for a bit, it turned out to be exactly what I needed to hear to get me unstuck. This talk is my slightly expanded version of that statement, and should hopefully understand what ⁠ Free ⁠ is, what purpose it serves and where it came from. ⭐ Speaker ⭐ Nicolas writes code for JPMorgan, where we use Scala to make some very complicated things seem very simple. After too many years as a Java programmer and a thankfully brief stint in marketing, Nicolas discovered Functional Programming through Scala and fell in love. Since then, he's made it his mission to learn and explain the scary bits, by focusing on practical applications. Nicolas is also the author and sole maintainer of a few useful OSS libraries, such as kantan.csv. ———————————————————— 🗣️ Would you like to present, but are not sure how to start?
