LEARN HOW TO WRITE SCALABLE AND CONCURRENT PROGRAMS IN SCALA, A
LANGUAGE THAT GROWS WITH YOU.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
* Get a grip on the functional features of the Scala programming
language
* Understand and develop optimal applications using object-oriented
and functional Scala constructs
* Learn reactive principles with Scala and work with the Akka
framework
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
This book is for programmers who choose to get a grip over Scala to
write concurrent, scalable, and reactive programs. No prior experience
with any programming language is required to learn the concepts
explained in this book. Knowledge of any programming language would
help the reader understanding concepts faster though.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
* Get to know the reasons for choosing Scala: its use and the
advantages it provides over other languages
* Bring together functional and object-oriented programming
constructs to make a manageable application
* Master basic to advanced Scala constructs
* Test your applications using advanced testing methodologies such as
TDD
* Select preferred language constructs from the wide variety of
constructs provided by Scala
* Make the transition from the object-oriented paradigm to the
functional programming paradigm
* Write clean, concise, and powerful code with a functional mindset
* Create concurrent, scalable, and reactive applications utilizing
the advantages of Scala
IN DETAIL
Scala is a general-purpose programming language that supports both
functional and object-oriented programming paradigms. Due to its
concise design and versatility, Scala's applications have been
extended to a wide variety of fields such as data science and cluster
computing. You will learn to write highly scalable, concurrent, and
testable programs to meet everyday software requirements.
We will begin by understanding the language basics, syntax, core data
types, literals, variables, and more. From here you will be introduced
to data structures with Scala and you will learn to work with
higher-order functions. Scala's powerful collections framework will
help you get the best out of immutable data structures and utilize
them effectively. You will then be introduced to concepts such as
pattern matching, case classes, and functional programming features.
From here, you will learn to work with Scala's object-oriented
features. Going forward, you will learn about asynchronous and
reactive programming with Scala, where you will be introduced to the
Akka framework. Finally, you will learn the interoperability of Scala
and Java.
After reading this book, you'll be well versed with this language and
its features, and you will be able to write scalable, concurrent, and
reactive programs in Scala.
STYLE AND APPROACH
This book is for programmers who want to master Scala to write
concurrent, scalable, and reactive programs. Though no experience with
any programming language is needed, some basic knowledge would help
understand concepts faster.
