Course Overview
Scala is a type-safe programming language that runs on top of the JVM. Scala is tagged as the “long time replacement for Java”. Scala is both object-oriented and functional, thus allowing developers to easily express themselves using powerful tools without losing performance.
In this 4-day course, we’ll focus on the advanced syntax features that Scala offers.
We’ll also dive into Functional Programming idioms and how to implement them in Scala
