Is there a book everyone recommends for learning Scala? In the beginner range, not someone coming from Java.

Is there a book everyone recommends for learning Scala? In the beginner range, not someone coming from Java.
- huehue 12y ago`Scala for the Impatient` is really good.
- thescrewdriver 12y agoScala for the Impatient is really good, but not sure that it's designed entirely for beginners. For more beginner-centric content perhaps check out: Learning Scala: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920030287.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920030287.do http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000001798/index.html http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000001798/index.ht... ...or Atomic Scala: http://www.atomicscala.com/ http://www.atomicscala.com/
- noelwelsh 12y agoI'm writing one. It's almost ready. Drop me an email (noel at underscoreconsulting dot com) if you'd like to try it out.
- ssmoot 12y agoI second "Scala for the Impatient", but if you don't have any statically typed background it might be a bit tough. "The Neophyte's Guide to Scala" (http://danielwestheide.com/scala/neophytes.html http://danielwestheide.com/scala/neophytes.html) is hands down the best language introduction I've ever read though.
- jowiar 12y agoOdersky's Coursera is excellent. For me, it was vital to jumping the gap from "Here is a language that gives you a million ways to solve problems" to "I want to express this particular concept, so I designed a language well suited for expressing it".
