Scala in Depth is designed to help you effectively integrate Scala into your development process by presenting best practices and designs from the Scala community. This book offers powerful techniques through numerous examples, focusing on practical coding rather than heavy theory. It is tailored for readers familiar with Java, Scala, or other object-oriented languages. The purchase of the print book includes a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook, along with access to all code from the book. Inside, you'll discover a concise and expressive code style, guidance on integrating Scala into existing Java projects, and insights into Scala's 2.8.0 collections API. The book covers using actors for concurrent programming, mastering the Scala type system, and exploring its object-oriented features, including type member inheritance, multiple inheritance, and composition. Additionally, it delves into functional concepts and patterns such as immutability, applicative functors, and monads. Key topics include a blended language overview, core rules, coding conventions, utilizing object orientation, and the interplay of implicits and types. You'll also learn about the right collections to use, actors, and patterns in functional programming. This resource is invaluable for developers looking to deepen their understanding of Scala and enhance their coding skills.
