Does anyone know if there are any plans to update Odersky's "Programming in Scala" book? I'm intending to buy it in order to learn Scala, but if there's a second edition pending I'd rather hold off.
Alternatively, if someone knows a better community that could field this question, I'd really appreciate being pointed in that direction. One thing I've not really grokked about Scala is where to go to ask such things!
- jorgeortiz85 16y agoAFAIK, there are no plans to update "Programming in Scala". But most (if not all) code examples from PinS should work with Scala 2.8. The scala-user mailing list (http://listes.epfl.ch/doc_en.cgi?liste=scala-user http://listes.epfl.ch/doc_en.cgi?liste=scala-user) is the best place to ask (and get answers for) newbie Scala questions. Using the "scala" tag on StackOverflow also produces good results.
- frio 16y agoThanks for that. I've been using StackOverflow for a few simple questions, but I'll check out the mailing list too!
- SkyMarshal 16y agoGood question. If no one answers here, try asking on StackOverflow. They've had some discussions on that book, but none recent enough to answer your question. http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=programming+in+scala http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=programming+in+scala
