Scala is a modern programming language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that combines the best features of object-oriented and functional programming languages. Using Scala, you can write programs more concisely than in Java, as well as leverage the full power of concurrency. Since Scala runs on the JVM, it can access any Java library and is interoperable with Java frameworks. Scala for the Impatient concisely shows developers what Scala can do and how to do it. In this book, Cay Horstmann, the principal author of the international best-selling Core Java(t), offers a rapid, code-based introduction that's completely practical. Horstmann introduces Scala concepts and techniques in "blog-sized" chunks that you can quickly master and apply. Hands-on activities guide you through well-defined stages of competency, from basic to expert. Coverage includes * Getting started quickly with Scala's interpreter, syntax, tools, and unique idioms * Mastering core language features: functions, arrays, maps, tuples, packages, imports, exception handling, and more * Becoming familiar with object-oriented programming in Scala: classes, inheritance, and traits * Using Scala for real-world programming tasks: working with files, regular expressions, and XML * Working with higher-order functions and the powerful Scala collections library * Leveraging Scala's powerful pattern matching and case classes * Creating concurrent programs with Scala actors * Implementing domain-specific languages * Understanding the Scala type system * Applying advanced "power tools" such as annotations, implicits, and delimited continuations Scala is rapidly reaching a tipping point that will reshape the experience of programming. This book will help object-oriented programmers build on their existing skills, allowing them to immediately construct useful applications as they gradually master advanced programming techniques.

读后感

没读过，想读， 但我估计之前的评论都只是看了前九章就认为读了这本书的主儿写下的吧？！ 实际上， 后面几章才是我感兴趣的， 尤其是最后一章， delimited continuation，如果你能轻松读懂这一章，再来评论才好，呵呵，反正我估计我可能不会一遍读懂，continuation的概念挺简...  

大致讲了一下语法，没讲什么原理性的东西，对初学者不好懂，需要多看几遍，不是我理想的书 大致讲了一下语法，没讲什么原理性的东西，对初学者不好懂，需要多看几遍，不是我理想的书 大致讲了一下语法，没讲什么原理性的东西，对初学者不好懂，需要多看几遍，不是我理想的书  

前段时间学完了coursera上的“Functional Programming Principles in Scala”，现在正在自学“Principles of Reactive Programming”。和这两门课程的内容相比，这本书最大的问题就是对函数式编程的感念介绍太少，书中的内容大都是scala语法类库的堆砌。比如说对foldLeft、fold...

一般，不深不浅，不痛不痒

常见坑都给标出来了，适合想快速开始用的人

scala入门或者有基础复习书籍。

作者很懂我们想看啥样的书啊！

这本书用来入门scala太妙了。看得好上瘾……完了，这下这个月的看闲书指标要完不成啦。
