	05     Scala fuses object-oriented and functional programming concepts
	 into an elegant\, statically typed programming language for the Java 
	Platform. The name Scala stands for "SCAlable LAnguage." It is scalabl
	e in the sense that it is designed to be useful in a wide range of tas
	ks\, scaling up to very large programs written by many people and down
	 to short scripts written by individuals. The conciseness and expressi
	veness 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 h
	elp programmers prevent errors. In this talk\, Bill Venners will give 
	an introduction and overview of the Scala programming language.Speaker
	 BioBill Venners is president of Artima\, Inc.\, publisher of Artima D
	eveloper (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 le
	ad developer and designer of ScalaTest\, an open source testing tool f
	or Scala and Java developers\, and coauthor with Martin Odersky and Le
	x Spoon of the book\, Programming in Scala. Co-chairs: Rich Rein\, Sud
