A very good course on Scala for Java developers. Andreas makes nice comparisons from Scala to Java, and though he is most definitely a Scala fan, he does not overly proselytize. Very solid advice for moving from Java to Scala, and good coverage of the features of Scala. Though I was not expecting exercises, it might be nice to add segments where students can try things out, especially during the REPL discussion.

Instructor Bio
Passionate Java, Scala, CUDA, Mathematica, perl programmer
Deep mathematical and programming background in financial derivatives pricing, risk management, and data science, as well as optimization / operations research and vaccine research.
Have been programming financial derivatives and combinatorial optimization codes since the early 90s. Have worked for major German and UK banks, and then moved to the US in 1998. Have worked for several investment banks and hedge funds, as well as Wolfram Research, the makers of Mathematica. Have programmed neural networks since 2002. I have switched almost completely from Java to Scala. For various reasons I explain in my Java -> Scala transition class, I see this as the future, and I think in the next 5 years Scala will replace Java in the professional space.
I am also a very enthusiastic pilot, I have a multi-engine airline pilot license (ATP-MEL) with instructor certifications. I am also a board member and CTO of the Volunteer Pilots Association (VPA), a charity flying people in medical and financial need, and am a command pilot for LightHawk, a charity flying for nature conservation.
