Not relevant to your post, but I kept getting asked by data engineers who are interested picking up scala (thanks to spark): how shall I learn scala? Do you happen to have any advice for them?
- lihaoyi 11y agoFind something you want to do, try to do it, find out what you don't know, and learn it. You could try learning from a book or a course, but personally I've never found a better way of learning "what I need to learn for X" than trying to do X and then googling all the things I don't know. Sure, you'll forget a whole bunch of that stuff, but if it's at all important you'll find yourself re-learning it again and again until it sticks.
- audi100quattro 11y agoScala by example and the coursera courses by Martin Odersky have helped me, but like Li said, there is no substitute to having something in mind and getting your hands dirty using Akka, Play or Spark and Googling what you don't know. http://www.scala-lang.org/docu/files/ScalaByExample.pdf http://www.scala-lang.org/docu/files/ScalaByExample.pdf
