FULL COURSE DETAILS

Our Scala training course will show delegates why this powerful general purpose programming language has generated so much interest over the last few years. It provides the foundation of many large scale web applications from companies such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Netflix, the Guardian, BBCand ITV. Although seen by many as “a better Java”, Scala in fact provides support fordifferent programming paradigms including Object Oriented, Functional and Generic. Its approach to concurrency has proved particularly powerful, and to a large extent accounts for its popularity in large-scale distributed applications, including “Big Data” processing.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the language, demonstrating the power and expressiveness of its syntax and semantics, and its support for these
different programming styles. Examples and exercises are used to illustrate these concepts.
