Scala 2 is a general-purpose programming language with support for both object-oriented and functional programming styles.	With a strong type-system, generic and meta programming abilities and expressive, very concise syntax it is a tool of choice for many big-tech companies.No problem is too big. With many great libraries such as Apache Spark or Akka framework as well as access to the vast Java ecosystem, Scala 2 shines when dealing with large distributed systems or Big data.Why it’s worth learning Scala:The language was specially developed to remove the restrictiveness of Java, offering a well-organized and cleaner language.One of the highest salaries in the IT business - according to 2020 Developer Survey by StackOverflow, Scala Developers are considered the most valuable, they are paid the most (https://insights.dice.com/2020/06/04/24-programming-languages-pay-top-salaries-scala/) Scala is in the top 10 languages developers want to learn (listed 6th - a go to language for Developers - according to 2020 HackerRank Developer Skills Report, 18.7% developers would like to learn ScalaWith Scala you can encode the same tasks as in Java in a much cleaner and more concise way. Less boilerplate means less noise in your code which dramatically improves code readability. Scala provides interoperability and compatibility with Java, which means Java developers can keep their libraries and gradually migrate their codebase.So why would you use Scala instead of Java for the JVM? Scala gives you more powerful tools to abstract which enables you to focus on the intent instead of the mechanics.Modern applications should take advantage of multi-core machines they’re running on. Scala gives you powerful abstractions to execute code in parallel with the built-in Future (thread based model) or effect system libraries (fiber based model).This course is a high-speed introduction for Java/Frontend developers.Who Should Attend?Software developers interested in Scala 2, Java developers that want to prepare to migrate to Scala.PrerequisitesExperience with any programming languageTopics<ul><li>SBT</li><li>Java interop</li><li>Syntax</li><li>Control-flow operators</li><li>Scala type system</li><li>Functions and methods</li><li>Immutability</li><li>Data modeling</li><li>Pattern matching</li><li>Null handling</li><li>Error handling</li><li>Generics</li><li>Collections</li><li>Tail-recursion</li><li>Lambdas</li>Higher-order functions<li>Dependency injection</li><li>Implicits</li><li>Type class encoding</li><li>DSL encoding</li><li>Effect systems</li><li>Testing</li></ul>Length: 2 days, 8h eachTrainer: Piotr Gołębiewski: Software Consultant with more that 10 years of experience in several programming languages (of which more than 5 in Scala).
