Creative Scala: A New Introduction to Scala

As we’ve taught more training courses, both free and paid, we’ve seen the need for material that is more basic than Essential Scala. In our free courses we often have students with very little programming experience. The programming patterns in Essential Scala are tough going for them, as they don’t have the background to appreciate the problems we’re solving. In our paid courses we find a lot of time is spent on syntax and other Scala basics that take away from more useful material. Creative Scala is designed to appeal to both groups by covering the very basics of functional programming and Scala is a fun way. We assume some familiarity with another programming language but little or no experience with Scala or other functional languages.
