DESCRIPTION:
The book progresses from true programming in the small to more significant projects later, leveraging the full benefits of object orientation. It covers basic logic and problem decomposition and explains how to use GUIs and graphics in programs. Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala presents many concepts from CS1 and CS2 using a modern, JVM-based language that works well for both programming in the small and programming in the large. It also introduces multithreading and networking to provide further motivating examples. By using Scala as the language for both CS1 and CS2 topics, this textbook gives students an easy entry into programming small projects as well as a firm foundation for taking on larger-scale projects. The text then illustrates the benefits of object-oriented design and presents a large colle
"Five Stars" according to sri. book is missing solutions for the exercises though. "Disappointing" according to Satadru Roy. Quite disappointing. List of topics ranges from very basic (was it really necessary to cover command line tools?) to advanced (context-free parsers) but the text, I felt, didn't do justification to the sophistication of Scala. For the most part, the code samples were Scala versions of Java, i.e., imperative implementations in Scala. T. "Great Comprehensible Book!" according to Marcus.

"This textbook for college programming courses is obviously aimed at students in computing, but it would also be useful for students in other fields since it is about problem solving. Software designers can also use it as a reference for many programming techniques. D. In summary, the author has provided a unique and timely pedagogical tool that is highly recommended to a large reader audience."Computing Reviews, May 2014. Papamichail, University of Miami in CHOICE Magazine"I enjoyed and learned many Scala subtleties from this book, and I recommend it to all readers interested in this exciting programming language.
