The latest edition of this comprehensive cookbook is packed with more than 250 ready-to-use recipes and 1,000 code examples to help you solve the most common problems when working with Scala 3 and its popular libraries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Scala changes the way you think about programming--and that's a good thing. Whether you're working on web, big data, or distributed applications, this cookbook provides recipes based on real-world scenarios for both experienced Scala developers and programmers just learning to use this JVM language. Author Alvin Alexander includes practical solutions from his experience using Scala for component-based, highly scalable applications that support concurrency and distribution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Recipes cover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrings, numbers, and control structures \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClasses, methods, objects, traits, packaging, and imports \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional programming techniques \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScala's wealth of collections classes and methods \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding and publishing Scala applications with sbt \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActors and concurrency with Scala Future and Akka Typed \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopular libraries, including Spark, Scala.js, Play Framework, and GraalVM \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypes, such as variance, givens, intersections, and unions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest practices, including pattern matching, modules, and functional error handling \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlvin Alexander took the circuitous route to software development. He managed to get a degree in Aerospace Engineering from Texas A\u0026amp;M University while all he wanted to do was play baseball. Once he became a practicing engineer he was volunteered to maintain the company's software applications, and quickly realized he liked it. As a result he ended up teaching himself Fortran, C, Unix and network administration, Perl, Java, Python, Ruby, Scala, and Kotlin. During this process he started a software consulting firm, grew it to fifteen people, sold it, and moved to Alaska. After returning to the \"Lower 48\" he self-published two books, How I Sold My Business: A Personal Diary, and A Survival Guide for New Consultants. Since then he has written three more books: Scala Cookbook; Functional Programming, Simplified; and Hello, Scala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50440517386514,"sku":"9781492051541","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_edb47ea6-dca0-4c1c-a1f3-1b0d46e231c9.jpg?v=1729661136","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/scala-cookbook-recipes-for-object-oriented-and-functional-programming-9781492051541","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
