Description

Welcome to the Wing Ding! We're one or more semi-formal study groups in the Seattle/Bellevue area.
Here is where you'll find meeting announcements, some planning discussions, and occasionally meeting recaps. Most of the "what is art" type discussion happen on other lists (e.g. SeaJUG).
We are currently studying "Programming Scala" by Dean Wampler and Alex Payne.
Past iterations of Wing Ding have included Best Practices in Java ("Effective Java, 2nd Edition" by Bloch), Concurrency and Transactional Memory ("Java Concurrency in Practice" by Goetz, Peierls, Bloch, Bowbeer, Holms, and Lea and "Concurrent Programming in Java" by Lea), Design Patterns (GoF + Industrial Logic's Study Guide), Collective Intelligence ("Programming Collective Intelligence" by Toby Segaram), Ajax + GWT, and Functional Programming (SICP). Who knows what the future may hold?

Re: More thoughts on actors
... The Java code gets uglier when you need to ensure that the hair are not cut twice. Should be simpler to ensure with the actor model (messages are received

Re: More thoughts on actors
The actor library is one of the concurrency approaches available in Scala, but not the only one, or necessarily the best. I think Scala's actors are
