[Brandon J. Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

A well written and structured book about programming with Scala. Each capture builds to a capstone project and uses colored diffs to show the changes to the code as you progress. Whether you’re new to Scala or looking for a refresher or some fresh takes, this is definitely the book for you!

Cannot recommend this book more if you're getting started with Scala. I love how practical it is, going through problems you'd see every day at work (data ser/de, static blogging, understanding implicits), while introducing Scala-specific structures. Li Haoyi is a treasure in the Scala community.
