Scala for the Impatient LiveLessons (Video Training)

In Scala for the Impatient LiveLessons, best-selling author and professor Cay S. Horstmann builds upon your knowledge of Java and introduces Scala as a "better Java." You will see how Scala blends object-oriented and functional programming and gives you the choice of when and how to use each paradigm. Scala is a modern programming language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and combines the best features of object-oriented and functional programming. Scala has quickly risen in popularity because it allows developers to write programs more concisely than in Java, as well as to leverage the full power of concurrency. Since Scala runs on the JVM, it can access any Java library and is interoperable with Java frameworks.
