Intended for experienced Java, C++, or C# programmers who are new to Scala or functional programming this book concentrates on key Scala concepts and techniques. Cay S. Horstmann writes particularly for impatient readers who want to learn the fundamentals of Scala so they can start coding quickly and avoids exhaustively listing all the features of the language. Instead, using carefully crafted examples and hands-on activities he guides you through stages of competency from basic to expert.
