 +====== 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. :-)
 +
 +To sign up, please visit: http://​www.meetup.com/​chicagoscala/​ before noon, the day of the event.
