This is turning out to be a good read, however not a quick read. In addition to being an in depth introduction to the Scala programming language it also a nice introduction to functional programming.

The language lessons are used as a vehicle to illustrate general purpose programming concepts and programming language features. For example, object mutability, DSL (domain specific languages) and algorithms.

This book attempts to give an overview of statistical inference without following the usual path of first doing a lengthy introduction to probability theory.

It's an interesting and appreciated approach because it does indeed seem like the typical approach takes a long time before getting to inference concepts. However the content does require some amount of mathematical maturity to follow.
