Course Description
Let's parse that.
Scala is coolbecause its all the rage for big data applications, and because it manages to be more sophisticated and elegant than Java.
That said, Java is a steady, reliable friend - a language you can depend upon, and in which you can express yourself.
These 65 examples will help you trust Scala the way you trust Java. Each is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a specific Scalause-case.
Each example is simple, but not simplistic.
What's Included:
The Big Ideas:
Before we get to the how, we better understand the why - this course will help clarify why we even need Scala whenJava serves us so well
The Little Details That Matter: Pattern Matching, If Expressions, For Loops & Yield:
Java has if-statements, while Scala has if-expressions. Differences like these matter, this course will cover them.
First Class Functionsare perhaps the most dramatically new feature of Scala - the foundation of functional programming support.
Collections - Lists, Options, the Details of fold/reduce/shiftin Scala are yet another bit of the language that differs significantly from other traditional object-oriented languages. We will spend a lot of time on these topics too.
Classes, Companion Objects, Traits, Self Types and Dependency Injectionare Scala's way of providing Object Oriented support. Some of these concepts are similar to Java - those we will skim over. Othersare quite different - we will be sure to cover these in detail.
Who this course is for:
Nope! Please don't enroll for this course if you are entirely new to programmingYep! Please DO enroll for this course if you know Java and are now looking to learn Scala from first principlesYep! Please DO enroll for this course if you are interested in learning functional programming concepts as embodied in Scala
