Scala Programming for Beginners

Packed with examples and exercises, Get Programming with Scala is the perfect starting point for developers with some OO knowledge who want to learn this multi-style programming language for the JVM and pick up a few FP skills along the way. Scala can be daunting at first, especially if you're seeing FP ideas for the first time, but with the examples and exercises in this book, you'll get over the initial learning hump quickly and start doing interesting projects before you know it. The book covers both Scala 2 and Scala 3, and it teaches you the core skills you'll need to code with Scala, including mastering Scala and being well-equipped to match your programming approach to the type of problem you're dealing with. You'll start by reviewing OOP concepts in the Scala language, and then 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. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
