Scala in Malvern, PA offers their digital signage software which provides Designer for content design, Content Manager for content organization and control, and Player for content viewing. Notably the software supports a wide array of digital signage including touchscreen kiosks and service for direct customer engagement and interaction.
The Navori Digital Signage Software is the best solution for digital signage. It's easy to use, and it's the best way to get your ads in front of potential customers. With a variety of sizes, speeds, and pixel densities available, it is sure to fit your needs. Indoor and outdoor units are available for those who need their displays outside of the office. Navori is the application that allows you to control screens, smart icons, and dynamic content in physical locations from anywhere.
If you are in the data science world, Scala is the best language to work with Spark, the defacto data science data store. I think that is really the main likely reason I would ever recommend Scala. Another reason is if you already have a team of programmers familiar with functional programming, e.g. they all have years of Haskell experience. In that case, I definitely think Scala is a superior and faster-growing language than Haskell and that picking up Scala after Haskell should be quick.
QL Essential offers a simple, easy-to-use interface for any user. Professional includes multilingual support and administrative access for IT professionals.
QL Essential takes care of digital signage in all its aspects: content, technology, and workflow.
Whether you are a small office with a few screens or need to place thousands of screens around the world, Navori has a solution for all.
Compatibility with Java: if you are switching off of Java onto a new language, one reason to pick Scala is that it is about 99% compatible with Java, so any Java libraries or code you were using before can be called from Scala (not vice-versa though).
Great built-in features for managing concurrency (e.g. Futures, Actors, and Akka). Making the most of every single thread on the machines your Scala code is running on is much easier and safer than doing it with Java. Scala abstracts away thread pools and threads quite well with Futures. I wouldn't say Futures are easy to learn though....but they are definitely safer to use than pure threads.
Null-pointer safety: In Scala, null pointers are rare because most libraries pass around a class called Option when whatever you are referencing could possibly be null. Options are first-class and the functional nature of Scala combined with Options means you can almost always avoid referencing a null directly using Option.map or Option.flatMap (see here for what they do https://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/Option.html). That means you'll almost never encounter another null-pointer exception unless you do something quite stupid and avoidable. Java has Options for helping with this now, but it's not widely used and not nearly as powerful.
Non-desktop staff, who may not have an easy way to access their data feeds, can control what is playing on any of their screens using their smartphone.
This also eliminates the need for wired connections or software installation at their workplace.
Offline functionality, remote management, and the ability to design your own user interface with Drag & Drop make QL Essential a complete solution for any digital signage operation.
The Scala community is still pretty active and friendly. Martin Odersky, the creator Scala, and his team are sill quite passionate and gone above-and-beyond to fix bugs and address the need for more features. They also have a company called Lightbend that will help you integrate Scala into your engineering stack. I have heard mixed things about them but never worked with them myself so take what I say with a grain of salt.
A new digital signage display that is easy to integrate, easy to use and stylish, look no further. Navori's modular D-LED displays are the perfect way to enhance our customers' experience.
Navori automatically updates our dynamic displays with the latest information from your data sources without we having to do anything. Simply set up the rules and the system takes care of it.
We can use the interactive content feature to display a dynamic source on a static screen and much more , the possibilities are endless!
