Scala Tutorial:

  • Speaker = "Dean Wampler"
  • Really informative overview of Scala.
  • Notes
    • Type inference
    • Concise
      • No boilerplate
      • User defined factory methods
    • Templated classes
    • Objects as Functions
      • And vice versa
    • Classes:
      • fields are private by default
      • var keyword generates getters and setters (uniform access principle)
      • case classes provide helpers for structural classes
    • Traits:
      • Interface + optional Implementation
      • Templatable
      • Construction time mixin of traits using with keyword
      • Traits in Scala are order dependent
    • object = singleton class
      • constructed at the definition
    • misc
      • Unit ~~ Void
    • Akka scala actor library
