Scala is now an established programming language developed by
Martin Oderskey and his team at the EPFL. The name Scala is derived
from Sca(lable) La(nguage). Scala is a multi-paradigm language,
incorporating object oriented approaches with functional
programming. Although some familiarity with standard computing
concepts is assumed (such as the idea of compiling a program and
executing this compiled from etc.) and with basic procedural
language concepts (such as variables and allocation of values to
these variables) the early chapters of the book do not assume any
familiarity with object orientation nor with functional programming
These chapters also step through other concepts with which the
reader may not be familiar (such as list processing). From this
background, the book provides a practical introduction to both
object and functional approaches using Scala. These concepts are
introduced through practical experience taking the reader beyond
the level of the language syntax to the philosophy and practice of
object oriented development and functional programming. Students
and those actively involved in the software industry will find this
comprehensive introduction to Scala invaluable.
