English | 2021 | ISBN: 978-0997148008 | 668 Pages | PDF | 17 MB

This book is the authoritative tutorial on the Scala programming language, co-written by the language’s designer, Martin Odersky. This fifth edition is a major rewrite of the entire book, adding new material to cover the many changes in Scala 3.0. In fact we have added so much new material that we split the book into two volumes. This volume, Programming in Scala, is a tutorial of Scala and functional programming. The second volume, Advanced Programming in Scala, which will be released as a PrePrint™ soon, is a deep dive into advanced aspects of Scala 3. The changes and new features covered in this book include:

• Quiet (indentation-sensitive) control syntax
• Intersection and union types
• Enums and Algebraic Data Types (ADTs)
• Context parameters and given instances
• Trait parameters and transparent traits
• Universal apply methods
• Extension methods
• Multiversal equality
• Export clauses
• main functions
