Course Description

These 65 examples will make this cool-new-kid-on-the-block your steady, reliable friend

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

Lots of useful concepts here. Course could be better with more real-world engineering examples

By Yechezkal Gutfreund on 6/25/2020

I love the way the instructor raises questions about the utility of a feature, and then explains how to use it. Also excellent use of animation.

By Jeremy Szyba on 5/26/2020

Very basic. Which is fine. But the first section is pretty much a whole bunch of sad slides and the individual "teaching" the course pretty much reading them verbatim. There is next to no actual code written. Maybe the course gets better but I was asked my opinion early on, so there it is.

By Darryl Parks on 5/25/2020

What I liked:
* Each lesson deals with a concise concept making it easy to go back to a concept.
* Explanations were done pretty well.
What should be Improved:
* As others have mentioned the ending music is WAY TOO LOUD.
* One of the lessons was very quiet.

By Vendras Panagiotis on 5/17/2020

Was good course thanks for these valuable information's

By Vinod on 5/16/2020

Learn by examples by Loonycorn is really easy to understand.

By Camille Prunier on 3/21/2020

Quite platonic and also the music at the end of each lesson breaks my ears! :D

By Mike Scholtes on 3/13/2020

Yes, a good match.

By Fayaz Basha Shaik on 1/7/2020

Quick way to understand and program in scala for java programmers.

By Marcus20 on 11/18/2019

By Wojciech Gradzki on 11/5/2019

Very Very Basic. Lack of any more complicated examples

By Alessandro Benassi on 10/22/2019
