Scala - Your First Programming Language

Overview

Embark on a comprehensive 19-hour programming journey designed for absolute beginners. Start from scratch and master the fundamentals of coding using Scala as your first programming language. Explore essential concepts such as the Scala Build Tool (SBT), type systems, recursion, and primitive types on the JVM. Dive into various creation methods, including literals and composition, while learning about higher-order functions, closures, and function currying. Discover object-oriented programming principles, inheritance, and traits. Advance your skills with pattern matching, case classes, and error handling techniques. By the end of this course, gain a solid foundation in programming and be well-prepared for further exploration in the world of software development.
