Reminder: this course starts up on Monday. Several of us are signed up and may do an informal study group of some kind. I'll probably buy Odersky's book or maybe Scala for the Impatient.

I should finish that second cup of coffee, before I send an email.   The link below is to the first edition.

FYI,  Oreilly Safari has the scala books.  I must confess, I do most of my reading on Safari. it saves lugging books around.

Hope life is treating you well,

Mike

A number of us around Cincy are taking this 7-week course. It's not too late to start it (lectures and exercises for 1st week were just released Monday). Mike has created a Google+ Community for us to share questions and comments:
