On today’s TechCast, Sujan Kapadia talks to yet another Scala person: James Roper (@jroper). Previously a core team member of the Play framework, James is now the tech lead of Lagom, a new Java-oriented micro-services framework introduced by Lightbend.  He discusses it in depth in his ETE talk, Rethinking REST in a Microservices World, as well as in this conversation with Sujan. You can learn more about Philly ETE, the developer-friendly, Chariot-sponsored conference here. We Talk to James About:  The underlying theme at ETE of simplifying Scala, and how James thinks the community can help newcomers make a smoother transition to the language – with lessons he’s learned shipping the Play framework. Play’s popularity in the general Java ecosystem (according to James, 50% of Play users are Java developers), and where James sees it going with Lagom. He believes the asynchronicity of Java 8 and a trend of using more reactive development patterns makes Play a better option than Spring for Java 8 developers. How involved the rewrite of Play to Akka streams was, and whether or not Akka HTTP is still on the roadmap. How Lagom fits into the ecosystem of Play. Designed to restrict you in what you do to push you in the direction of doing things right, it encourages using event sourcing and CQRS, as well as asynchronous communication between services.  Upcoming Events Chariot Technology Architect Sujan Kapadia (@sujankapadia) will be speaking at the following events:  Reactive NYC Meetup in New York City. His talk is titled “Don’t block on it! Migrate your codebase before its too late!” Check it out and register on Meetup.com. At Philly Tech Week he’ll be conducting a 3 hour intro to Scala workshop titled “Intro to Scala: Fear no more!” Check it out and register here.

TechCast #99 – James Roper on Scala

Welcome to the show a man who at his core has a burning passion to empower He has a belief that his talent and reason for being here, is to can inspire the youth of today that they do not have to, or should have to, accept the path that has been trod so many times before. That path that takes you into jobs and responsibilities that society appears to say are the right ones to take. The choices that need to be made because millions of people before have been told to do the same, and have done just that. Ending up in uninspiring, soul destroying employment that is so far removed from their unique self. After starting his first business at the age of 19, he has been able to live an entrepreneurial lifestyle by being diligent on all opportunities that are presented his way. In short he has managed to overcome the fear that root so many of us to spot. And has created a kick ass life for himself in the process. So as a published author of the best selling book The Productive Person Action Guide: How to be more productive and maximize your work-life balance in 2 weeks, and a stream of delighted clients and conferences halls all across America, how has he managed to do just that? What has separated him from his target audience that just a few years previously he was sat amongst?

Podcast 170: James Roper: A Man Who Believes That The Quality We Experience In Life Is Down To Us

Reactive Streams has a lot to offer Play, providing an asynchronous streaming API that is easy to learn and easy to use from both Java and Scala. Play 3.0 will be embracing this new API as the base level IO API, but what implications will this have on Play's architecture? What will happen to iteratees? How much will this impact existing Play applications? This presentation will dive deep into Play's architecture, and show just how reactive streams will be applied to and improve Play.
