Professional Scala

A professionals guide to the robust language big data demandsAs big data and cluster computing applications expand, so too does the need for experienced programmers equipped to handle ever-increasing data requirements. Scala bridges the gap between functional and object-oriented programming, and its Java compatibility has made it an increasingly in-demand language. This book provides experienced programmers with the guidance they need to quickly become productive with Scala in professional production applications. Without wasting time on programming fundamentals, the discussion launches directly into practical Scala topics with the most up-to-date coverage of this rapidly-expanding language. Designed for professionals, by professionals, this book demonstrates the real-world skills needed to work with Scala in production settings.Professional Scala:Explains syntax, the SBT interactive build tool, the REPL workflow, and the features that make Scala useful in diverse applicationsLinks functional and object-oriented programming for a more thorough understanding and quick practical masteryIntegrates Maven, Scala.js, Scaladoc, Lint, and other useful compatibilities to help expand functionalityExplores functional design patterns, the Scalas type system, concurrency, documentation, and testing for start-to-finish referenceWalks through Java compatibility and advanced functional programming topics to demonstrate Scalas full capabilitiesProvides the most up-to-date coverage of this expanding language, by an expert author teamWrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day.

'Professional Scala' provides experienced programmers with a complete Scala reference and tutorial. Designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals, this guide provides everything you need to know to use Scala in professional production applications. Professional Scala provides experienced programmers with fast track coverage aimed at supporting the use of Scala in professional production applications. Skipping over the basics and fundamentals of programming, the discussion launches directly into practical Scala topics with the most up-to-date coverage of the rapidly-expanding language and related tools. Scala bridges the gap between functional and object-oriented programming, and this book details that link with clear a discussion on both Java compatibility and the read-eval-print loop used in functional programming. You'll learn the details of tooling for build and static analysis. You'll cover unit testing with ScalaTest, documentation with Scaladoc, how to handle concurrency, and much more as you build the in-demand skill set required to use Scala in a real-world production environment. Java-compliant with functional programming properties, Scala's popularity is growing quickly-especially in the rapidly expanding areas of big data and cluster computing. This book explains everything professional programmers need to start using Scala and its main tools quickly and effectively.
