Excellent book to start your Scala journey. Read it before jumping to more advanced, say, Functional Programming in Scala.Apart from introducing the language (and FP paradigm) from very basic to comparatively advanced aspects, the book also teaches you how to set up projects using standard build tools and frameworks, which I found to be invaluable for someone who is new to the whole eco-system.Some familiarity with the language itself is nessesary, but, I believe, not required.

This is in my opinion the best scala book out there to start your journey with. I have looked at quite a few scala books and some are good but take forever to get to so called advanced concepts. This book gets you up to speed with programming concepts unique to scala without needing to read over a thousand pages first. Additionally, this book incorporated the use of intellij IDE which can be a pain when you first start using scala. The other thing that I liked about the book is that the projects show you how to tackle various problems by writing in the scala style of the functional programming. I think this book probably was the most useful scala book I have ever bought.

Good introduction to specific frameworks, approaches and libraries for someone who already knows Scala.Opinionated but justifies his opinions based on realistic project examples, rather than just ranting.Still have not finished the book - because every two pages give a wealth of examples and ideas to try out.

Books does not teach you scala. Project descriptions not best but enough. That is book for people that have learned scala, akka etc and looking for good project example and some example how things are done in scala ecosystem.

Mark Tanser Jul 09, 2019

The overall content and exercises are fine, but it is dogged by typos and omissions which render it a huge struggle to follow for a beginner. Without consulting the online code on gitHub it would be impossible to complete the sections. There are also code exceptions and errors which are not covered in the text and you're left to search for answers on Stackoverflow. Really, a book like this should be thoroughly proof-read and tested by a first-sight user going through the instructions cover-to-cover, before committing to print and offering for sale.
