Summary

I hope you enjoyed this introduction to functional programming in Scala. To learn more about Scala, here are some of the best resources I know.

First, as a special mention, Programming in Scala is written by Martin Odersky (creator of Scala), Bill Venners (creator of ScalaTest and more), and Lex Spoon, and I consider it to be the reference for the Scala language.

If you like my writing style, my books on Scala are:

• Functional Programming, Simplified
• Scala Cookbook
• Hello, Scala

In alphabetical order, I’ve read these other books, and I can recommend them:

• Akka Concurrency
• Functional and Reactive Domain Modeling
• Functional Programming in Scala
• Learning Concurrent Programming in Scala
• Scala for the Impatient is a good quick reference guide
