====== Speaking at Chicago Area Scala Enthusiasts Meeting ======

I'll be speaking at the Chicago Area Scala Enthusiasts (CASE) meeting this coming Thursday.  We'll cover the following:

  * News from the Scala LiftOff East in Reston Virginia two weeks ago
  * I'll talk about using DSLs written in Scala to improve Java projects

Although I haven't decided on the final content yet, topics I'm considering in order to illustrate this second point include:

  * Showing how to use the excellent Specs unit testing DSL (a great way to get Scala into a Java shop)
  * A "Make"-like DSL I wrote as my first DSL (doesn't nearly everybody?)
  * Simplifying Java code by evolving Java into a Scala DSL by translating to Scala and then stepwise introducing Scala idioms

I'd love to hear about what people what to hear about.  Please comment. :-)
