Good afternoon CodeMashers,
I'm pleased to announce that Bruce Eckel will be presenting a second session on Thursday @ 3:35pm in Sagewood/Zebrawood titled " Rethinking Errors: Learning from Scala and Go". This session replaces the cancelled session, "Advanced ASP.NET MVC".
Session Description
C++ brought exceptions to mainstream programming, and Java goes further with checked exceptions. Both languages treat exceptions as the one way to report all kinds of errors. The Scala and Go languages introduce a new idea: There is more than one kind of error. Thus, there should be more than one kind of error reporting, and multiple different kinds of responses to errors. I’ll show some of the history and past experiments in error handling, then look at how Scala and Go approach the error problem in a better way.
