Learn By Example: Scala

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

Let's parse that.

• Scala is cool because 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 Scala use-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 when Java 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 Functions are perhaps the most dramatically new feature of Scala - the foundation of functional programming support.

• Collections - Lists, Options, the Details of fold/reduce/shift in 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 Injection are Scala's way of providing Object Oriented support. Some of these concepts are similar to Java - those we will skim over. Others are quite different - we will be sure to cover these in detail. 

Using discussion forums

Please use the discussion forums on this course to engage with other students and to help each other out. Unfortunately, much as we would like to, it is not possible for us at Loonycorn to respond to individual questions from students:-(

We're super small and self-funded with only 2 people developing technical video content. Our mission is to make high-quality courses available at super low prices.

The only way to keep our prices this low is to *NOT offer additional technical support over email or in-person*. The truth is, direct support is hugely expensive and just does not scale.

We understand that this is not ideal and that a lot of students might benefit from this additional support. Hiring resources for additional support would make our offering much more expensive, thus defeating our original purpose.
