You'll learn the ins and outs of Scala by actually programming with it, thanks to the practical examples, exercises, and easy-to-follow lessons. You'll start by reviewing OOP concepts in the Scala language. Then, example-by-example, you'll gradually open up the world of functional programming. You'll explore functions and types and learn how to combine them to create powerful, flexible abstractions. Along the way, you'll learn some Scala testing and get an intuition for sniffing out and fixing code that doesn't smell quite right. what's inside Learn to express OO principles in Scala Express your program designs in functions Make use of types to enforce program requirements Use abstractions to avoid code duplication Write meaningful tests and recognize code smells
