Martin Odersky's Object-oriented meets functional: An exploration of Scala September 28, 2011

This course is led by Iulian Dragos. He gives you an excellent grounding in Scala and the course is intended to enable developers or development managers who are experienced programmers in Java or another production language to confidently start programming in Scala. No previous knowledge of Scala is assumed. Although intense, the course ensures you will have a solid understanding of fundamentals of programming in the language and have a good appreciation of its more advanced features.

The course concludes with a 2 hour, interactive "live coding session". With guidance from the instructor you bring all the aspects of Scala together to produce a fully-functioning Swing spreadsheet application.

Advanced topics such as concurrency, Actors and common Java library use will not be covered in any detail.
