Introduction to Scala

Course & Training

Introduction to development with Scala.

Two to four days of intensive entry-level development with Scala. Introduction to Scala, a high-level programming language that allows to perfectly combine functional and object-oriented programming on the JVM.

Content:

Scala is developed at EPFL by Martin Odersky and his team. Scala is a great and fascinating programming language. Many successful proconcurrent projects (e.g. Spark, Kafka) as well as companies (e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter) are based on Scala. Scala is high-level and combines functional and object-oriented development perfectly. Scala programs can be compiled for the JVM or Javascript and thus have access to huge ecosystem.

We build together incrementally a sample application that illustrates the following topics:

- Overview Scala
- Functional
- Object Oriented
- classes
- objects
- Traits
- imports
- case classes
- Control constructs
- collections
- Pattern matching
- Future and Generics
- etc.

We focus on a specific selection of topics to look at and understand in detail.

Disclaimer: The actual course content may vary from the above, depending on the trainer, implementation, duration and constellation of participants.

Whether we call it training, course, workshop or seminar, we want to pick up participants at their point and equip them with the necessary practical knowledge so that they can apply the technology directly after the training and deepen it independently.

Goal:

By the end of the course, attendees will be able to build simple applications with Scala and won't want to use any other language.

Form:

while(true) {coding... Coffee... Coding...} very much with read-eval-print-loop (REPL).
And if we need breaks with the code then abstract on the whiteboard and slides.... But real breaks are there too!

Target Audience:

Software developers who want to get an efficient start into the development with Scala and want to develop first projects with it. As well as a basis for participants of our course "Akka with Scala".

Requirements:

Experience developing with an object-oriented or functional programming language (Java, C#, C++, Golang, Rust, TypeScript, etc.).

Preparation:

After registration, each participant will receive a questionnaire with installation instructions. Matching the answers we send an individual feedback.We recommend the use of IntelliJ and sdkman.

Waitinglist for public course:

Sign up for the waiting list for more public course dates. Once we have enough people on the waiting list, we will determine a date that suits everyone as much as possible and schedule a new session. If you want to participate directly with two colleagues, we can even plan a public course specifically for you.
