Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

This course is designed for software developers, engineers, and architects familiar with Java or similar object-oriented languages who want to gain practical, hands-on experience in Scala programming. It is particularly beneficial for those aiming to leverage Scala's concise syntax and functional programming capabilities to build scalable and maintainable applications.

Prior experience with object-oriented programming languages such as Java is recommended. Familiarity with basic programming concepts and development tools will be beneficial.

The Scala Training Course provides a comprehensive introduction to the Scala programming language, focusing on its hybrid object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. Participants will learn to write concise, expressive code using Scala's rich set of features, including immutability, higher-order functions, and pattern matching. The course covers essential topics such as classes, objects, traits, and collections, enabling participants to develop robust applications. Practical exercises throughout the course reinforce key concepts and provide real-world context.

Key Topics Covered:
• Introduction to Scala's syntax and features
• Object-oriented programming in Scala: classes, objects, and traits
• Functional programming concepts: immutability, higher-order functions, and closures
• Pattern matching and case classes
• Working with collections and for-comprehensions
• Concurrency and parallelism in Scala

The course is delivered over three days and includes hands-on exercises and real-world case studies to reinforce learning.
