This well-loved first edition of “Programming Scala” offers a unique perspective on the Scala programming language, blending functional programming and object-oriented concepts. Published in 2009, it captures the early days of Scala’s rise, when it was gaining traction as a powerful alternative to Java for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Authors Dean Wampler and Alex Payne, both experienced Scala practitioners, provide a comprehensive introduction to the language, guiding readers through its core features and idiomatic patterns. Despite its age, this seminal work remains a valuable resource for developers seeking to understand the foundations of Scala and its innovative approach to scalable, concurrent programming. Collectors of early Scala literature and those interested in the language’s evolution will appreciate this vintage copy as a piece of programming history.
