- ScalaNovice 10y agoHow much of this book is "functional" aspect and how much is everything else? Going through the TOC, it looks like the book tries to start from 0. Would you recommend any particular sections for someone who's looking to only understand the functional parts?
- Philipp__ 10y agoYour comment tells me you should start from the beginning and read the whole thing. :) Just give it a try. I was hooked after first chapter!
- rv11 10y agoatleast go through initial 4 chapters. then go through the coursera lecture of Odersky. Though SICP is lisp, the structure is very similar to scala.
