Description: Steps in Scala An Introduction to Object-Functional Programming A hands-on introduction to this exciting new programming language. Includes carefully chosen exercises and programming projects. Christos K. K. Loverdos (Author), Apostolos Syropoulos (Author) 9780521747585, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 23 September 2010 504 pages 24.7 x 17.5 x 2.6 cm, 0.89 kg "Loverdos and Syropoulos provide a well-constructed introduction to this language." J. Beidler, University of Scranton for Choice Magazine Scala is a highly expressive, concise and scalable language. It is also the most prominent method of the new and exciting methodology known as object-functional programming. In this book, the authors show how Scala grows to the needs of the programmer, whether professional or hobbyist. They teach Scala with a step-by-step approach and explain how to exploit the full power of the industry-proven JVM technology. Readers can then dive into specially chosen design challenges and implementation problems, inspired by the trials of real-world software engineering. It also helps readers to embrace the power of static typing and automatic type inference. In addition, the book shows how to use the dual-object and functional-oriented natures combined at Scala's core, and so write code that is less 'boilerplate', giving a genuine increase in productivity.
