Why Scala

1. Type Inference :

Uses type inference to allow the compiler to
infer the type of variables from the instances bound to them. We would write the
equivalent line in Scala as follows:
val myInstance = new Example()
The Scala compiler infers that myInstance has the Example type at compile time. A
lot of the time, it is enough to specify the types of the arguments and of the return
value of a function. The compiler can then infer types for all the variables defined in
the body of the function. Scala code is usually much more concise and readable than
the equivalent Java code, without compromising any of the type safety.

2. Immutable objects : Scala encourages the use of immutable objects.
val rollnos = List("720", "729") // List is immutable
rollnos(1) = "5" // Compile-time error
Knowing that some objects cannot be changed once instantiated reduces the number of places bugs
can creep in.

3.Functional Programming :

Scala encourages functional code. A lot of Scala code consists of using higher-order
functions to transform collections.

Event Sourcing with CQRS.

  The way event sourcing works with CQRS is to have  part of the application that models updates as writes to an event log or Kafka topic . This is paired with an event handler that subscribes to the Kafka topic, transforms the event (as required) and writes the materialized view to a read store.

Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts

First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC. But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this: shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC" Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use. I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use: shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!" shutdown -r -t 03 -c ...
