I do indeed. The "red book" aka Functional Programming in Scala I wouldn't recommend to a beginner. It teaches FP at a fairly deep level to the extent of implementing the abstractions yourself. Take a look at that later perhaps. Don't get me wrong, it is utterly brilliant but it wouldn't be the place to start. I would recommend Essential Scala for the basics. Scala with Cats if you're going to be working with the Typelevel stack (a popular set of FP libraries). Lots of other resources but those two alone will take you far. http://underscore.io/books/essential-scala/ http://underscore.io/books/essential-scala/ http://underscore.io/books/scala-with-cats/ http://underscore.io/books/scala-with-cats/
