They teach Scala with a step-by-step approach and explain how to exploit the full power of the industry-proven JVM technology. Readers can then dive into specially chosen design challenges and implementation problems inspired by the trials of real-world software engineering. It also helps readers to embrace the power of static typing and automatic type inference. In addition the book shows how to use the dual-object and functional-oriented natures combined at Scala''s core and so write code that is less boilerplate'' giving a genuine increase in productivity.
