The name Scala stands for "SCAlable LAnguage." It is scalable in the sense that it is designed to be useful in a wide range of tasks\, scaling up to very large programs written by many people and down to short scripts written by individuals. The conciseness and expressiveness of Scala gives it the feel of dynamic languages such as Python or Ruby\, but Scala also provides a rich static type system that can help programmers prevent errors. In this talk\, Bill Venners will give an introduction and overview of the Scala programming language. SPEAKER: Bill Venners is president of Artima\, Inc.\, publisher of Artima Developer (www.artima.com). He is author of the book\, Inside the Java Virtual Machine\, a programmer-oriented survey of the Java platform's architecture and internals. His popular columns in JavaWorld magazine covered Java internals\, object-oriented design\, and Jini. Active in the Jini Community since its inception\, Bill led the Jini Community's ServiceUI project\, whose ServiceUI API became the de facto standard way to associate user interfaces to Jini services. Bill is also the lead developer and designer of ScalaTest\, an open source testing tool for Scala and Java developers. Free for eBig Members\, Guests $10.

Games are becoming one of the most popular activities within social networks and game developers continue to spend increasing amounts of energy figuring out how to leverage and apply the growth in social networking to the games they are developing. The conference will bring together leaders in the social networking and gaming spaces to share insights into the convergence of these worlds. What: Social Gaming Summit (http://www.socialgamingsummit.com) Where: UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center\, San Francisco\, CA When: Friday\, June 13th 2008 Register Here: http://socialgamingsummit.eventbrite.com/ Confirmed speakers already include the following list of folks: * Dave Williams\, Shockwave and AddictingGames * Craig Sherman\, Gaia Online * Jim Greer\, Kongregate * Siqi Chen\, Serious Business (Friends for Sale) * Blake Commagere (Mogad\, Vampires\, Werewolves) * Erik Bethke\, Go Pets * Daniel James\, Three Rings * Amy Jo Kim\, ShuffleBrain * Nicole Lazarro\, XEODesign * Matt Mihaly\, Sparkplay Media * Shervin Pishevar\, Social Gaming Network * Mark Pincus\, Zynga * Jeremy Liew\, Lightspeed Venture Partners * Mike Sego\, (fluff)Friends * Kyra Reppen\, Neopets * Matt Palmer\, Stardoll * Ted Rheingold\, Dogster * John Welch\, Playfirst We'll be announcing more speakers over the next week or so - we've got some great people lined up and I think you'll really get a lot out of spending the day with us. Discussion topics will include the following: Casual MMOs and Immersive Worlds Many so-called "casual MMOs" and immersive worlds are casual only in the sense that the point of the game is not to bash gruesome looking monsters or the game isn't set in a sci-fi fantasy world. The engagement story around existing and upcoming casual MMOs is real and very compelling. This panel will discuss what it takes to build a successful casual MMO that users love to play. Asynchronous Games on Social Networks There are a lot of interesting asynchronous activities happening on social networks. Some of them are traditional games\, others are games in disguise. Join us and hear from some of the leading voices in this space share their views on how to build great gameplay characteristics into social networking applications and what opportunities exist for gameplay to take advantage of the social graph. Building Communities and Social Interaction In and Around Games Social networking and games go hand in hand. Whether it's taking advantage of the relationship data in social networks to build novel gameplay or building community among people who play games\, game developers are discovering clever ways to build real communities around the games they're developing. Hear from our panel of thought leaders about what it takes to successfully integrate community and social interaction into the next generation of games. What Makes Games Fun? We all like to have fun\, right? What is it about games that makes them so fun? Is it gameplay? Social interaction? Achievements and accomplishments? Our panel of thought leaders will share their perspectives on what it takes to build a fun game and why building fun into games is more difficult than it looks. Monetization and Business Models for Social Games There are a handful of viable (proven) business models for social games. How should game developers go about choosing the best business model for their games? Our panel of experts will share their thoughts on the various business models and how to think through the right one for a given game.
