Reading Time: < 1 minute Here I am going to explain distributed version control system and how it is better then centralize version control system. I will demonstrate some basic terminology of GIT as well. Knolx master-slides from Mayank Bairagi
Reading Time: < 1 minute Now we are using scala but still we are writing code in scala in java style. There are some things to remember when we write scala code. So, in this knolx session I am going to explain you some brief scala idioms which will help you in writing scala code. Scala idioms from Knoldus Software LLP
Reading Time: 2 minutes We use the awesome Lift Json library in quite a few our projects. It allows for easy customization and is handy for writing and parsing JSON strings. One of the situations which could possibly push you against the wall is when you have classes extending traits. Let us look at this quick example trait Reducer case class SentimentReducer(name:String, coefficientLevel:Double) extends Reducer case class EmotionReducer(name:String, coefficientLevel:Double) Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes We can run our application with http as well as with https. We use https for secure communication over the computer network. Technically, https is not a protocol in and of itself; rather, it is the result of simply layering the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) on top of the SSL/TLS protocol, thus adding the security capabilities of SSL/TLS to standard HTTP communications. In this blog, Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes In this blog, I would explain how to run a standalone Scala job on Amazon EC2 Spark cluster from local machine. This is a simple example to process a file, which is stored on Amazon S3. Please follow below steps to run a standalone Scala job on Amazon EC2 Spark cluster: 1) If you have not installed Spark on your machine, please follow instructions from Continue Reading
Reading Time: < 1 minute Kryo is a fastest and efficient way to do serialization. It is more efficient than Java serialization – both in size and speed. I am working on a Scala_Lift_Akka based project, where I have to implement serializer for Akka Actor’s remoting. Since Kryo is fast, efficient and easy to use, so I decided to implement Kryo in my project for serialization. I implemented Romix’s kryo-based Continue Reading
Reading Time: < 1 minute I did a presentation on Scala Traits in New Delhi at the event ‘Kick Start Scala and Play’. The topics included in the presentation ranges from basic introduction of Scala to advance topics like case classes and pattern matching. The worksheets from presentation is available here on google drive. Also, embedded here is the slides from Scala Traits presentation. Scala traits training by Sanjeev Kumar Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes ScalaTraits, a Scala Users Group initiative run by Knoldus and Typesafe in the New Delhi NCR region ran its third meet-up to a huge success in central Delhi. There were 20+ Scala enthusiasts who spent the day writing Scala and Play code on their laptops and finally deployed it on Heroku. It was a fun-filled event with a superb location and excellent food (Ok, my Continue Reading
Reading Time: < 1 minute We had a great & successful Scala Traits Event at Hotel Regent Grand on last Saturday. I’ve presented on Play Framework. My Presentation has got three modules from basic Play learning to deploying the application. Now this fruit is here as well.

Reading Time: 2 minutes In this blog, I would explain how to create bridge between Lift Comet Actor and Akka Actor. Since Lift has its own actor model, so a bridge is needed to fill communication gap between LiftComet and Akka Actor, so that Akka actor would be able send message to comet, once comet has been set. This bridging concept would be more useful for those web applications, Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes If you are running an application and there are lot of chances for a huge traffic to come in future, a single server would not be capable to handle this. In that case you would have two choices: A) Replace existing server with an advance server with better configuration B) Building a global node in the cluster to be used by other nodes. We know Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes In this blog, I would explain how easily you can recover Akka actor for Remote Application JVM failure scenario in Scala. I have implemented this in one of my project and it is working fine. Suppose there is a remote application, which is being used by multi JVMs, and JVMs are passing message to each other through Akka actor, then there must be an Akka Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes We at Knoldus are pleased to announce the release of ScalaGeek(Beta). ScalaGeek ScalaGeek is a community driven database of questions and answers on Scala. The idea is to allow people who are learning Scala to validate their learning and master the language. ScalaGeek provide the comprehensive style question which needs to be answered in a time bound environment. As a registered user of ScalaGeek, you Continue Reading
