Scala Beginner Programming Recipes

Scala is a powerful multi-purpose programming language that is much appreciated for its simple object-oriented, functional style.

This video starts with recipes that explore core language principles—covering topics such as strings, classes, types, methods, and arrays—before getting into concepts such as Object Oriented Programming. From there, you’ll learn about functional programming techniques and how to handle files and processes. You’ll go on to master concurrency in Scala, making use of the Akka framework. You’ll learn about working with databases, and then about Reactive programming in Scala and how to use it to build robust microservices and distributed systems. You’ll also use the Scala REPL to achieve a better feedback mechanism.
