Scala is a concise, object-oriented language with functional programming features, including currying, type inference, immutability, lazy evaluation, and pattern matching.
In this instructor-led, live training participants will learn how to use Scala's advanced features to develop well-constructed software that is easy to write, read, test, and change. The focus of this training is on functional programming, using real-world case studies and discussion as a reference for lab exercises and activities.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Implement advanced functional programming techniques
Make sense of complex type signatures
Understand code through types and substitution
Handle exceptions functionally
Create libraries and DSLs with Scala
Use Scala's advanced features for pattern matching
Audience
Scala programmers who wish to learn the more advanced and nuanced features of Scala
Format of the course
Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
