Steps in scala: an introduction to object-functional programming

Scala is a highly expressive, concise and scalable language. It is also the most prominent method of the new and exciting methodology known as object-functional programming. In this book, the authors show how Scala grows to the needsof the programmer, whether professional or hobbyist. They teach Scala with a step-by-step approach and explain how to exploit the full power of the industry-proven JVM technology. Readers can then dive into specially chosen design challenges and implementation problems, inspired by the trials of real-world software engineering. It also helps readers to embrace the power of static typingand automatic type inference. In addition, the book shows how to use the dual-object and functional-oriented natures combined at Scala's core, and so writecode that is less 'boilerplate', giving a genuine increase in productivity.
