Praise for the first edition: "The well-written, comprehensive
book...[is] aiming to become a de facto reference for the language
and its features and capabilities. The pace is appropriate for
beginners; programming concepts are introduced progressively
through a range of examples and then used as tools for building
applications in various domains, including sophisticated data
structures and algorithms...Highly recommended. Students of all
levels, faculty, and professionals/practitioners. -D. Papamichail,
University of Miami in CHOICE Magazine Mark Lewis' Introduction to
the Art of Programming Using Scala was the first textbook to use
Scala for introductory CS courses. Fully revised and expanded, the
new edition of this popular text has been divided into two books.
Object-Orientation, Abstraction, and Data Structures Using Scala,
Second Edition is intended to be used as a textbook for a second or
third semester course in Computer Science. The Scala programming
language provides powerful constructs for expressing both object
orientation and abstraction. This book provides students with these
tools of object orientation to help them structure solutions to
larger, more complex problems, and to expand on their knowledge of
abstraction so that they can make their code more powerful and
flexible. The book also illustrates key concepts through the
creation of data structures, showing how data structures can be
written, and the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Libraries
that provide the functionality needed to do real programming are
also explored in the text, including GUIs, multithreading, and
networking. The book is filled with end-of-chapter projects and
exercises, and the authors have also posted a number of different
supplements on the book website. Video lectures for each chapter in
the book are also available on YouTube. The videos show
construction of code from the ground up and this type of "live
coding" is invaluable for learning to program, as it allows
students into the mind of a more experienced programmer, where they
can see the thought processes associated with the development of
the code. About the Authors Mark Lewis is an Associate Professor at
Trinity University. He teaches a number of different courses,
spanning from first semester introductory courses to advanced
seminars. His research interests included simulations and modeling,
programming languages, and numerical modeling of rings around
planets with nearby moons. Lisa Lacher is an Assistant Professor at
the University of Houston, Clear Lake with over 25 years of
professional software development experience. She teaches a number
of different courses spanning from first semester introductory
courses to graduate level courses. Her research interests include
Computer Science Education, Agile Software Development, Human
Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering, as well as
Measurement and Empirical Software Engineering.
