Programming in Scala: Updated for Scala 2.12

A Comprehensive Guide to Scala Programming

Programming in Scala is the definitive guide to Scala, the powerful and versatile programming language that combines object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. Written by the language's creators, Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon, and Bill Venners, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to Scala, from its basic syntax to its advanced features.

Why Scala?

Scala is a modern, general-purpose programming language that offers a number of advantages over other languages, including:

• Expressiveness: Scala's concise syntax and powerful features make it easy to write code that is both readable and maintainable.
• Scalability: Scala is designed to support large-scale applications, with features such as type inference and immutability that help to prevent errors and improve performance.
• Concurrency: Scala's support for concurrency makes it easy to write code that can take advantage of multiple processors or cores.
• Interoperability: Scala is interoperable with Java, allowing you to reuse existing Java code and libraries.

What You'll Learn

Programming in Scala will teach you everything you need to know to get started with Scala, including:
