Packed with code examples, this comprehensive book teaches you how to be productive with Scala quickly, and explains what makes this language ideal for today's highly scalable, component-based applications that support concurrency and distribution. You'll also learn the advantages that Scala offers as a language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and how you can leverage the wealth of Java class libraries.

This book will help you:

<ul> <li>Learn how Scala's succinct and flexible code helps you program faster <li>Discover the notable improvements Scala offers over Java's object model <li>Get a concise overview of functional programming, and learn how Scala offers a better approach to concurrency <li>Know how to use traits for mixin composition, pattern matching, concurrency with Actors, and other essential features of Scala <li>Handle XML easier using Scala's comprehensive library <li>Learn the features of Scala that promote scalable, component-based applications <li>Learn how to develop domain-specific languages in Scala <li>Understand the basics for designing test-driven Scala applications

You'll find a useful appendix on Scala's command-line tools, third-party tools, libraries, and available language-aware plugins for editors and IDEs.
