<h3 class="text-lg font-medium mb-2">What is OpenBlend?</h3>
OpenBlend is the biggest Java technology community in Slovenia, bringing together Java enthusiasts and software engineers devoted to the open source and the Java ecosystem's ongoing growth and development. 
With JVM as a central and ever evolving piece of technology, we also welcome and accept all other languages and technologies built on top and around the JVM.

BTC City Ljubljana

We’re rebooting at a brand new community space - Ljubljana.tech where we'll have two excellent engineers talk about Quarkus and advances in Scala 3 with ZIO.

<ul><li>This presentation is on Scala and its latest version, Scala 3. Scala is a programming language that is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to handle high-performance and concurrent applications. In this presentation, we will explore the features and capabilities of Scala, and discuss why it is gaining popularity among developers.</li>
<li>Functional programming is a programming paradigm that emphasizes the use of functions to model and solve problems. It is based on the idea that functions should be treated as first-class citizens in the language, and that they should be used to build larger abstractions. There are many benefits to functional programming, including better code readability, easier testing and debugging, and improved maintainability.</li>
<li>One of the key reasons that Scala is a popular choice for functional programming is its flexibility. Scala allows developers to define functions in many different ways, which makes it easy to scale and build complex abstractions. This is in contrast to languages that have more rigid rules for defining functions, which can make it more difficult to create advanced constructs.</li>
<li>Another feature of Scala that is worth noting is the concept of currying. Currying is a technique in which a function returns another function. This can be very useful for creating more specialized functions or for implementing higher-order functions that take other functions as arguments.</li>
<li>In Scala, it is also possible to compose functions. This means that you can take multiple functions and combine them to create a new function. This can be a powerful tool for building complex abstractions, and it is one of the reasons that Scala is such a scalable language.</li>
<li>Overall, this presentation is designed to be beginner-friendly for those with experience in Java. If you have written Java before, you should feel comfortable with the concepts and syntax presented in this talk. We hope that you will enjoy learning about Scala and that you will see why so many people are now using this technology to build high-performance and concurrent applications. </li></ul>

👋🏻 Welcome

This short talk will give a quick introduction to what Quarkus is and what benefits it brings. Then we will go a bit deeper into Quarkus’ gRPC support, recent new features, and how easily this can be deployed to K8s - a quick demo.

The talk will be given by Aleš Justin, a software engineer from Red Hat, an old-school JBoss-ian, currently working on Quarkus, its reactive parts and more.

🎙 Quarkus and new gRPC support

⏱ Break

We’ll jump into the latest and greatest Scala, check a few fundamental advances and then dance around with ZIO. We’ll look into the core features that elevate what it means to write modern, highly concurrent and resilient, functional, high-performance software.

The talk will be given by Oto Brglez, a Senior software engineer / Architect and Consultant.
