You're Invited to Source Talks: On Scala #3!
&nbsp;
In our On Scala Meetup webinar, our guest speakers Kai and Pavel Shirshov will explore the Pragmatic Pure FP approach to application design and testing with distage.
&nbsp;
Pavel and Kai are independent Scala consultants and functional programming enthusiasts with years of hands-on commercial programming experience. Their Scala contributions include izumi-reflect, the only portable compile-time reflection library with subtyping support and the core of ZIO Zlayer; distage, the dependency injection framework and application lifecycle solver with compile-time safety; fiber tracing support in ZIO 1 and many other good things.
&nbsp;
Distage is a pragmatic module system for Scala and Scala.js. It combines the simplicity and expressiveness of pure FP with the flexibility and extreme late-binding, traditionally associated with Java dependency injection frameworks, such as Guice.
&nbsp;
Our event is for any Scala enthusiasts looking to delve deeper into the language and its ecosystem. The series will bring thought and business leaders together, discussing the interesting, current topics and the challenges they solve with Scala daily.
&nbsp;
Whether you prefer Lightbend or Typelevel, Zio or Monix, we want to create a community where we can discuss the latest developments and architectures and how Scala is being used to solve some of the most exciting business problems in software engineering.

How has the landscape evolved for women in life sciences post-pandemic? You’re invited to our first Xplore Talks Webinar. Join the Xplore Team and our panel as we address how the Life Science Industry has evolved since COVID-19. There’s no doubt that COVID-19 has accelerated life sciences commercial models and capabilities. The pandemic has dramatically changed the way pharma companies operate and think about their organisational strategies. Life Sciences have seen significant growth in the last 2 years, and the industry finds itself in a position of relative strength, and because of this we are seeing shifts across leadership to help drive continued growth for the long term. Women currently account for more than half of all entry-level employees in the sector and have made progress in advancing to management, according to our previous analysis of women in healthcare. How has the COVID-19 pandemic created a seismic shift on the life science workforce, and what should organisations be doing to adapt to the impact post-pandemic. This webinar will discuss strategies and tactical projects for improving retention and representation, preparing us for the shift to the next normal in an era of endemic COVID-19. Webinar &amp; Virtual Discussion with Martine Zimmermann, Dr. Asha Parekh, Michael O Brien, Tania Thomas &amp; Dr. Mariane Melo. Facilitated by Natalie Walsh.

You're Invited to Source Talks: On Scala #2 with Scalac!&nbsp;Our 2nd webinar of the series is in partnership with Scalac; our guest speaker is Software Developer Łukasz Gajowy from Scalac. In the session, he will explore Monitoring Scala applications with Mesmer &amp; OpenTelemetry.&nbsp;Łukasz Gajowy is a Software Developer, Apache Committer (Beam), and a good software design enthusiast. He enjoys statically-typed functional programming, working with cutting-edge technologies and doing technical research for new projects.&nbsp;Scalac is a software house focused on implementing new technologies like ZIO and solving real challenges faced by the companies they work with. Those challenges include scaling up solutions for HealthTech, FinTech, and Blockchain industries.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mesmer is an OpenTelemetry Agent extension that allows you to add metrics and traces to your application without modifying its code. The extension automatically detects the libraries you use to alter their bytecode so that telemetry can be collected for you. The project started by instrumenting some Akka metrics to then extend its functionality with ZIO metrics and more to come, as the project still is in its early stages. Thanks to the fact that it's fully integrated with OpenTelemetry, it benefits fully from its features, toolset, and ease of configuration.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our event is for any Scala enthusiasts looking to delve deeper into the language and its ecosystem. The series will bring thought and business leaders together, discussing the interesting, current topics and the challenges they solve with Scala daily.&nbsp;Whether you prefer Lightbend or Typelevel, Zio or Monix, we want to create a community where we can discuss the latest developments and architectures and how Scala is being used to solve some of the most exciting business problems in software engineering.&nbsp;<a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QfYbp6KPTIuTMmbyWsa2_w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join us at the latest Source Talks Community Webinar!</a> Join our On Scala Meetup Group <a href="https://www.meetup.com/source-talks-on-scala/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Here</a>:

Michele Sollecito and Aditya Sofat - Coroutines and flows in Kotlin.Overview of Coroutines theory/Why?- Implementation of Continuation- Light weight Threads- Suspension PointsUse Case- non blocking/async programmingPractical Use Demonstrating- Coroutine Builders - ( DefaultDispatcher and how to change Thread Pool)- async/await use casesuspend fun loadAndCombine(name1: String, name2: String): Image {val deferred1 = async( loadImage(name1))val deffered2 = async( loadImage(name1))return combinedImage(deffered1.await(), deffered2.await())} Using Job and SupervisorJob to show the difference as well as Job CancellationCoroutine Structured ConcurrencyFlows- Hot vs Cold- Built-in back pressure handling- Changing Dispatcher- MutableSharedFlow example Duncan&nbsp;McGregor&nbsp;and Dmitry Kandalov - Dependency Injection: Refactoring from Spring to Kotlin Dependency injection libraries and frameworks seem to be so common these days that even the simplest projects start with introducing a DI framework. There are some good reasons to use DI frameworks, but in general, they can be less useful than expected. In this live coding session, I will take you on a refactoring journey moving a small web application from Spring to pure Kotlin. You will see how using modern language constructs can help achieve most benefits of DI frameworks without the need for reflection or compiler plugin magic. <a href="https://www.meetup.com/source-talks-on-kotlin/events/288627160/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Register here </a>
