Intro to Scala - All day event at 8th Light


This was an awesome all day event and introduction to Scala. I was pleasantly surprised how much of my Java knowledge was transferable to the Scala course we worked on. Not only was the course content based on manipulating images (see the last link below) which made it so much more fun, but 8th light also provided a large amount of mentors which made feedback so much easier to get. I was lucky enough to have my own mentor and just asked questions all day long about Scala, coding, and becoming a developer. My mentor Kyle was self-taught and so was our leader Aina! This was so inspiring!!! I definitely plan to attend any future 8th Light or Bridge Troll events and highly recommend them. I couldn't help but take a couple other pics on the walk over.
