The first edition of this book was released as Programming Scala. Our industry is moving toward functional programming  but your object-oriented experience is still valuable. Scala combines the power of OO and functional programming  and Pragmatic Scala shows you how to work effectively with both. Updated to Scala 2.11  with in-depth coverage of new features such as Akka actors  parallel collections  and tail call optimization  this book will show you how to create stellar applications. This thorough introduction to Scala will get you coding in this powerful language right away. Youll start from the familiar ground of Java and  with easy-to-follow examples  youll learn how to create highly concise and expressive applications with Scala. Youll find out when and how to mix both imperative and functional style  and how to use parallel collections and Akka actors to create high-performance concurrent applications that effectively use multicore processors. Scala has evolved since the first edition of this book  and Pragmatic Scala is a significant update. Weve revised each chapter  and added three new chapters and six new sections to explore the new features in Scala. Youll learn how to: Safely manage concurrency with parallel collections and Akka actors Create expressive readable code with value classes and improved implicit conversions Create strings from data with no sweat using string interpolation Create domain-specific languages Optimize your recursions with tail call optimization Whether youre interested in creating concise  robust single-threaded applications or highly expressive  thread-safe concurrent programs  this book has you covered. What You Need: The Scala compiler (2.x) and the JDK are required to make use of the concepts and the examples in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67947485659189,"sku":"ByrdShop_1680500546","price":31.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/pragmatic-scala-create-expressive-concise-and-scalable-applications-9781680500547","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
