This book examines the complex roles that texts serve as parts of
an organizational cognitive infrastructure. Texts make knowledge
and experience tangible and durable. They help shape interactions
between people. As professions have become more writing-centered in
recent decades, many organizations have instituted writing review
practices to help newcomers produce better writing and thus become
more effective organizational citizens.Dr. Swarts examines those
writing review practices and questions whether available supportive
technologies adequately prepare professional writers and
professionals who write to appreciate the complex functions their
texts serve. He reports on a study of the impact of two
technologies (paper text and textual replay) on writing review.
Unlike paper, which presents texts in a static form, textual replay
presents texts as the products of writing practices. Textual replay
records onscreen writing activity and creates a video that writers
and reviewers use to supplement their discussion of revisions.

Why learn Scala? You don't need to be a data scientist or
distributed computing expert to appreciate this object-oriented
functional programming language. This practical book provides a
comprehensive yet approachable introduction to the language,
complete with syntax diagrams, examples, and exercises. You'll
start with Scala's core types and syntax before diving into
higher-order functions and immutable data structures. Author Jason
Swartz demonstrates why Scala's concise and expressive syntax make
it an ideal language for Ruby or Python developers who want to
improve their craft, while its type safety and performance ensures
that it's stable and fast enough for any application. Learn about
the core data types, literals, values, and variables Discover how
to think and write in expressions, the foundation for Scala's
syntax Write higher-order functions that accept or return other
functions Become familiar with immutable data structures and easily
transform them with type-safe and declarative operations Create
custom infix operators to simplify existing operations or even to
start your own domain-specific language Build classes that compose
one or more traits for full reusability, or create new
functionality by mixing them in at instantiation
