Are you ready to take your development productivity to the next level? Do you want access to power features like closures, traits, and pattern matching while continuing to benefit from your existing Java skills and infrastructure? One word: Scala!

The Scala programming language has much to offer developers, but to take full advantage of Scala, you need an in-depth understanding. This course will take you step-by-step through the most important aspects of the Scala language and API, as well as the important ideas behind them. At each step, you'll gain a deeper understanding of Scala's design and how Scala can help you accomplish a wide range of programming tasks, from writing small scripts to building large systems.

In this intensive three-day course, you'll get hands-on experience using Scala to solve practical programming problems. You'll leave with new insights into how you can apply Scala in your own everyday work, and the proficiency to do it.

This workshop will be co-taught by Bill Venners and Dick Wall. For more information about the workshop and how to sign up, go here:
