While the ongoing debate on what's coming after Java is still raging, one programming language has already taken over the key intellectual beachheads, such as academia, the minds of leading software enthusiasts, and the bets of the hottest start-ups (e.g. Twitter!). This language is Scala.

Scala is a JVM based language that is fully interoperable with Java. It provides a nice blend of object-oriented principles along with a strong influence from functional programming as well as particularly elegant abstractions for multi-threaded programming.

• Plan: Your business goals & key performance indicators, marketing objectives & strategy, customer experience mapping and conversion scenarios.
