LEARN THE ART OF BUILDING INTRICATE, MODERN, SCALABLE, AND CONCURRENT
APPLICATIONS USING SCALA
ABOUT THIS BOOK
* Make the most of Scala by understanding its philosophy and
harnessing the power of multicores
* Get acquainted with cutting-edge technologies in the field of
concurrency, through practical, real-world applications
* Get this step-by-step guide packed with pragmatic examples
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
If you are a Scala programmer with no prior knowledge about concurrent
programming, or seeking to broaden your existing knowledge about
concurrency, this book is for you. Basic knowledge of the Scala
programming language will be helpful. Also if you have a solid
knowledge in another programming language, such as Java, you should
find this book easily accessible.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
* Get to grips with the fundamentals of concurrent programming on
modern multiprocessor systems
* Build high-performance concurrent systems from simple, low-level
concurrency primitives
* Express asynchrony in concurrent computations with futures and
promises
* Seamlessly accelerate sequential programs by using data-parallel
collections
* Design safe, scalable, and easy-to-comprehend in-memory
transactional data models
* Transparently create distributed applications that scale across
multiple machines
* Integrate different concurrency frameworks together in large
applications
* Develop and implement scalable and easy-to-understand concurrent
applications in Scala 2.12
IN DETAIL
Scala is a modern, multiparadigm programming language designed to
express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and
type-safe way. Scala smoothly integrates the features of
object-oriented and functional languages.
In this second edition, you will find updated coverage of the Scala
2.12 platform. The Scala 2.12 series targets Java 8 and requires it
for execution. The book starts by introducing you to the foundations
of concurrent programming on the JVM, outlining the basics of the Java
Memory Model, and then shows some of the classic building blocks of
concurrency, such as the atomic variables, thread pools, and
concurrent data structures, along with the caveats of traditional
concurrency.
The book then walks you through different high-level concurrency
abstractions, each tailored toward a specific class of programming
tasks, while touching on the latest advancements of async programming
capabilities of Scala. It also covers some useful patterns and idioms
to use with the techniques described. Finally, the book presents an
overview of when to use which concurrency library and demonstrates how
they all work together, and then presents new exciting approaches to
building concurrent and distributed systems.
STYLE AND APPROACH
The book provides a step-by-step introduction to concurrent
programming. It focuses on easy-to-understand examples that are
pragmatic and applicable to real-world applications. Different topics
are approached in a bottom-up fashion, gradually going from the
simplest foundations to the most advanced features.
