Unlike the previous reviewer I would respectfully say novices to Programming would feel completely out of their depth very fast and even those with some programming skills would benefit from a basic theoretical computer science course.However it thoroughly covers Scala (2.10) and made me feel a lot more confident in developing under Android.I haven't read the Odersky book so can't contrast - but the emphasis on real world applications does make it a really useful addition to the albeit few books out there at the moment.Highly Recommended for those who know some Java, others might not I feel get the maximum benefit this book provides.Added to say: I have spent some time with the Odersky book which seems a far gentler introduction - in fact considerably so. I'd recommend Odersky for beginners and those with some imperative experience and this book for those with at a reasonable grasp of Java or with a classical computer science education. ### ⭐⭐ Not a great book amongst its peers *by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2014* I didn't feel that the content in this book flowed very well, and it was littered with basic spelling and grammar errors that really should be picked up by the editor prior to publishing. I get the sense that some aspects were a bit rushed, and was quite disappointed with my purchase.Something that attracted me to this particular book was that it is quite recent and covers Scala 2.10 - but in hindsight, I'd rather buy a better (albeit slightly dated) book and fill in the gaps myself.I usually find myself addicted to my tech books, battling to put them down... this one didn't quite live up to that standard. Can't say I'd recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent introduction to the world of Scala, and also the pragmatic usage of the language... *by D***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2013* In a nutshell: This is a great book if you are looking for a rapid introduction to Scala with a very practical focus - where else would you be building a Scala-based RESTful API and MongoDB driver within the first few chapters, and have fun doing it! Although the book states that the target audience is open to all levels, I believe that programmers with some previous exposure to an OO language will get the most out of it. That's not to say novice developers won't enjoy the book, but they may find it quite fast paced.'Scala in Action' will offer seasoned developers much to think about, as this book is very focused in teaching you pragmatic (and idiomatic) usage of Scala. The fact that Scala manages to blend both Object Oriented and Functional programming styles means that learning this language provides a great transition into the differing approaches offered by these styles, and every good programmer knows that the more tools he/she has available, the more productive (and elegant/expressive) they and their code will become.In addition to the topics mentioned above this book also covers concurrency using the Actor model with Akka (to which I am becoming more and more of an advocate!), testing and TDD (which I believe is mandatory in any new technology book) and the interoperability between Java and Scala.I haven't fully digested all of the book yet, and I believe I'll be reading it several times (and more imporantly, experimenting even more with the code samples). However, 'Scala in Action' has been a perfect companion in my first serious voyage into learning this language, and it comes highly recommended for anyone else attempting the same task! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/56407802-scala-in-action-covers-scala-2-10](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/56407802-scala-in-action-covers-scala-2-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
