Scala & Spark Links

Useful Links for learning Scala

1. Scala overview from stackoverflow
2. Programming in Scala by Martin Odersky A cool textbook for scala
3. Scala School cheatsheet alike

About
Scala school started as a series of lectures at Twitter to prepare experienced engineers to be productive Scala programmers. Scala is a relatively new language, but draws on many familiar concepts. Thus, these lectures assumed the audience knew the concepts and showed how to use them in Scala. We found this an effective way of getting new engineers up to speed quickly. This is the written material that accompanied those lectures. We have found that these are useful in their own right.
