review 1: Very well-edited, wide-reaching overview of the Scala programming language. Includes an excellent overview of the collections API, some implementation details about the standard library, and clear, in-depth use cases and scenarios demonstrating concepts introduced. Disappointingly, doesn't talk about Scala Streams. Also, (obviously) doesn't cover Scala additions/modifications/deprecations beyond 2.8.
review 2: Thorough explanation of language features by the primary author of the language.For learning a new programming language, I find useful:- the online documentation- a project to develop- some exercises- a bookFor scala, I had a toy project to play with, the online doc is pretty good, the scala koans help explore things, and the REPL is highly useful in term... mores of trying things out.All I needed was a good book, and this is the best scala book I've worked through so far. less
