Scala 电子书：《Programming Scala》first edition 下载

《Programming Scala》其实有两本，另一本是 O'Reilly Media 出版的。下面这本国内有中译版，叫作《Scala程序设计：Java虚拟机多核编程实战》，在我看的几本Scala著作中，这本算是最易懂的。

 

介绍:

The increasing popularity and availability of multicore processors is creating a whole new set of challenges--although you can enjoy true concurrency, you're now faced with higher contention and synchronization issues. Deploying an existing application on a multicore processor may bring out previously hidden concurrency issues. Java's multi-threading facility by itself isn't enough---it's a very low level abstraction. Instead, you need a paradigm that provides a higher level of abstraction to deal with concurrency. It's time to embrace Functional Programming.

Scala is a hybrid Object-Oriented/Functional Programming language on the JVM. Using Scala, you can create traditional imperative programs, intermix them with Java code, and at the same time take advantage of higher levels of abstraction. You can use features that lead to concise, highly expressive code that remove the pain of dealing with concurrency.

Programming Scala will show you the fundamentals of functional programming using Scala. Very quickly, you'll learn how this statically typed language can give you dynamic capabilities to create concise, scalable, highly capable concurrent code.

Pragmatic programmers always use the right tool for the job. For concurrent programming on the Java VM, Scala is the tool, and Programming Scala by award-winning author Venkat Subramaniam is your guide.

铅笔书作为入门确实不错，基本上很多东西都提到了，但是还有点浅或者薄了，特别是和java交互这块，类型隐式转换等。
