Professional Scala

Beschreibung

A professional's guide to the robust language big data demands As big data and cluster computing applications expand, so too does the need for experienced programmers equipped to handle ever-increasing data requirements. Scala bridges the gap between functional and object-oriented programming, and its Java compatibility has made it an increasingly in-demand language. This book provides experienced programmers with the guidance they need to quickly become productive with Scala in professional production applications. Without wasting time on programming fundamentals, the discussion launches directly into practical Scala topics with the most up-to-date coverage of this rapidly-expanding language. Designed for professionals, by professionals, this book demonstrates the real-world skills needed to work with Scala in production settings. Professional Scala: * Explains syntax, the SBT interactive build tool, the REPL workflow, and the features that make Scala useful in diverse applications * Links functional and object-oriented programming for a more thorough understanding and quick practical mastery * Integrates Maven, Scala.js, Scaladoc, Lint, and other useful compatibilities to help expand functionality * Explores functional design patterns, the Scala's type system, concurrency, documentation, and testing for start-to-finish reference * Walks through Java compatibility and advanced functional programming topics to demonstrate Scala's full capabilities * Provides the most up-to-date coverage of this expanding language, by an expert author team Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.
Professional Scala provides experienced programmers with fast track coverage aimed at supporting the use of Scala in professional production applications. Skipping over the basics and fundamentals of programming, the discussion launches directly into practical Scala topics with the most up-to-date coverage of the rapidly-expanding language and related tools. Scala bridges the gap between functional and object-oriented programming, and this book details that link with clear a discussion on both Java compatibility and the read-eval-print loop used in functional programming. You'll learn the details of tooling for build and static analysis. You'll cover unit testing with ScalaTest, documentation with Scaladoc, how to handle concurrency, and much more as you build the in-demand skill set required to use Scala in a real-world production environment. Java-compliant with functional programming properties, Scala's popularity is growing quickly--especially in the rapidly expanding areas of big data and cluster computing. This book explains everything professional programmers need to start using Scala and its main tools quickly and effectively. Master Scala syntax, the SBT interactive build tool, and the REPL workflow * Explore functional design patterns, concurrency, and testing * Work effectively with Maven, Scaladoc, Scala.js, and more * Dive into the advanced type system * Find out about Scala.js A working knowledge of Scala puts you in demand. As both the language and applications expand, so do the opportunities for experienced Scala programmers--and many positions are going unfilled. Twitter, Comcast, Netflix, and other major enterprises across industries are using Scala every day, in a number of different applications and capacities. Professional Scala helps you update your skills quickly to start advancing your career.
