Professional Scala

Professional Scala teaches  you how to build and contribute to Scala programs, recognizing common  patterns and techniques used with the language. You’ll learn how to  write concise, functional code with Scala. After an introduction to core  concepts, syntax, and writing example applications with scalac, you’ll  learn about the Scala Collections API and how the language handles type  safety via static types out–of–the–box. You’ll then learn about advanced  functional programming patterns, and how you can write your own Domain  Specific Languages (DSLs). By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped  with the skills you need to successfully build smart, efficient  applications in Scala that can be compiled to the JVM.
