An introduction to functional programming languages -- The basics of the language -- Lazy and eager evaluation -- Object-oriented programming in Scala -- Types and classes revisited: polymorphism -- Scala: OOL and FP -- Algebraic data types -- Parallelism.

This book gives an introduction to the programming language Scala. It presents it from a functional programming perspective. The book explains with detail functional programming and recursivity, and includes chapters on lazy and eager evaluation, streams, higher-order functions (including map, fold, reduce, and aggregate), and algebraic data types. The book also describes the object-oriented aspects of Scala, as they are a fundamental part of the language. In addition, the book includes a chapter on parallelism in Scala, giving an overview of the actor model.
