Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

The Scala programming language was invented in 2004 in an attempt to bring functional programming to the JVM and the Java development community. It has risen to prominence in recent years as the de-facto language to compliment and replace java in existing teams, and as an advanced and capable language on greenfield projects. Scala combines advanced techniques long established in the functional programming community with the best practices of object-orientation, allowing developers to pick and chose a style and an approach that suits their team and their problems.

The 5-day course is divided in to 15 modules which includes interactive question and answer (Q&A) style approach and practical exercises.
