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

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

Introduction to Programming and Problem-Solving Using Scala is
designed to be used in first semester college classrooms to teach
students beginning programming with Scala. The book focuses on the
key topics students need to know in an introductory course, while
also highlighting the features that make Scala a great programming
language to learn. 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
