Become a Scala programmer. Dive head-first and hands-on into the fundamentals of Scala and functional programming.
After this course, you'll be able to:- understand Scala in production environments and in any project
- expand your existing object-oriented concepts to a new mindset with immutable values
- think code differently with functional programming
- write powerful code very quickly: 1-2 lines of Scala code enough for 50 lines of Java
- contribute to products and open-source projects written in Scala
- write applications in Scala from scratch
- quickly learn any Scala framework and library: Spark, Akka, Play, Lagom etc
Skills you'll get:
- Lasting comfort with the Scala language
- think code differently with values and expressions
- use blocks of code as expressions
- write compact code with recursion
- master the 2 recursion techniques
- use the 3 string interpolation techniques in different scenarios
- use the compiler's type inference effectively
- Extended object-oriented concepts
- immutable values
- the 3 method notations for expressive code
- singleton patterns in one line of code
- inheritance in Scala
- abstract classes and traits
- anonymous classes
- generics (which are generally poorly understood)
- exception handling
- Functional programming
- using functions as values
- anonymous functions (lambdas)
- the underscore notation and alternative syntax
- higher-order functions
- collections
- map, flatMap, filter
- Scala-only features
- pattern matching
- variance (introduction)
- for-comprehensions
Plus some extra perks:
- You'll have access to the entire code I write on camera (2000+ LOC)
- You'll be invited to our private Slack room where I'll share latest updates, discounts, talks, conferences, and recruitment opportunities
- You'll have access to the takeaway slides
- (soon) You'll be able to download the videos for your offline view
