Indeed I missed the link to the video of the 12 year old Shadaj Laddad. Here is it as yet: http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/scala/making-games-and-solving-puzzles-in-scala
Overview of the video's is here: http://skillsmatter.com/event/scala/scala-days-2012 Still many video's are not online. Anne Veling had a talk that got the most enthusiast tweets; it is not yet on the list. Simon Peyton-Jones (Microsoft Research) started his keynote with the manifesto for teaching computer science in the 21st century, that was launched two weeks earlier in the UK. He said that current ICT education comes down to teaching Microsoft Office. I have observed the same with my two children, in the Netherlands. French and German attendees of Scala Days told me that ICT education in their country is like that. http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/itforschools On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 4:09 PM, John Nilsson <j...@milsson.nu> wrote: > I think one of the video links are wrong, should they both be the same? > BR, > John > Den 20 apr 2012 01:57 skrev "Andre van Delft" <andre.vande...@gmail.com>: > >> Scala Days 2012 was held this week in London; 400 passionate developers; >> many presentations on DSLs, parallelism, concurrency, FP, compiler >> technology and much other stuff. http://days2012.scala-lang.org/ Enthusiastic >> tweets: https://twitter.com/search/scaladays >> >> The keynotes were by Guy Steele, Simon Peyton-Jones, Anthony Rose ( >> http://zeebox.com/) and Martin Odersky; I warmly recommend these, but >> right now the videos are not yet online. >> >> Twelve year old Shadaj Laddad had an awesome talk; he is a real good >> programmer, and maybe even better teacher.
