Programming in Scala

I’m about 1/3 through this book. Thus far it is one of the best programming books I’ve read to date.Odersky goes very deep into the *why* of the language, which is what I personally need in order to follow an author’s stream of consciousness.The programming examples in this book are second to none. He does not paste a bunch of irrelevant code. The code that is displayed serves a purpose and is helpful.👍

This book explains concepts concisely and clearly with concrete examples. Not only does it give you a tour of the Scala programming language, but also foundations behind object-oriented and functional programming at large, the two pillars of Scala. Must read for anybody who wants to really learn Scala and the programming style and pattern it represents, instead of merely scratching its syntax and semantics (which is well supplied by the scala-lang website).

Well the Pdf is available online for free and I would suggest you to have one in your system rather than wasting 40$ On this book. Even though you have a hard copy you wont read it all as it is around 900 pages

Ótima qualidade das informações. Ensina Scala profundamente e facilmente.

Si quieres aprender de escala no vas a encontrar un libro más completo. Recomendable 100%

Pretty good to cover the basic as well as complex topics. A definite one for the library!

depth, breath and clarity of this book can be found in very few technical books. this along with FP in Scala are the best companion for any scala programmer.

Slighty dated in some sections (for example, it still advocates use of List-s instead of much more efficient Seq-s), but still the best book if you are new to Scala and want to learn Scala sistematically to harness its true power of functional programming. It was written by the creators of Scala themselves - you can't get closer to the source than this. Highly recommended!
