Martin Odersky will be giving a two day course, "Object Oriented meets Functional", at Xebia in Amsterdam on the 14/15 October. This is a chance to learn about Scala from its creator and a great opportunity to understand the thinking that made Scala what it is today. Learn more about the course or register here [1].
He will also be giving the same course on the 17/18 Feb 2011 at Jfokus [2] in Stockholm.
