Scala Book(s)

[Alex Cruise]

Hi folks,

There's one Scala book on the market right now (and at least three
more coming out soon).

The one you can buy today is _Programming in Scala_ by Odersky, Spoon
and Venners, http://www.artima.com/shop/programming_in_scala . It's a
pretty good introduction to FP and Scala, and gives you a moderately
deep introduction into a few of the interesting libraries that ship
with Scala. Highly recommended unless you already know Scala and are
looking for a deep dive into any particular topic.

A few upcoming titles:

Venkat Subramaniam, _Programming Scala_ (PragProg,
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Scala-Multi-Core-Complexity-Virtual/dp/193435631X)

Alex Payne and Dean Wampler, _Programming Scala_ (O'Reilly,
http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780596801908)

David Pollak, _Beginning Scala_ (APress, http://apress.com/book/view/9781430219897)

HTH,
