Please RSVP to this meetup to show your support. The more people who RSVP, the easier it is for us to get permission from sponsor companies to pay for a guest speaker to travel to Cambridge and present.
Hi - just signed up for the group, so hope I'm not speaking out of turn but, how about Lift (Scala) ?
Hi Damian, firstly welcome to camdug, glad to have u with us. If u could get/know a scala/lift speaker who could come 2 Cambridge & present a talk on REST with lift/scala, then we'd love to have it on the agenda. dm me on twitter, I'm @snowcode, cheers, A
Please post comments here on any framework that's not been mentioned that should be represented at the conf. If you can join us for drinks tomorrow night at "The Plough" (Thur 5th Jan 2012, 7:30pm), for drinks and planning - brainstorming, that would also be brilliant.
