From the back cover: "Object-functional programming is already here. Scala is the most prominent representation of this exciting approach to programming, both in the small and in the large. ...
"Read the book to see how to:
leverage the full power of the industry-proven JVM technology with a language that could have come from the future;
learn Scala step-by-step, following our complete introduction and then dive into specially chosen design challenges and implementation problems, inspired by the real-world, software engineering battlefield;
embrace the power of static typing and automatic type inference;
use the dual object and functional oriented natures combined at Scala's core, to see how to write code that is less 'boilerplate' and to witness a real increase in productivity.
"Use Scala for fun, for professional projects, for research ideas. We guarantee the experience will be rewarding."
