Effective Programming in Scala

Module 1: Getting Started, Basics, Domain Modeling

This module provides a comprehensive introduction to Scala, covering elements of programs, types, methods, parameters, conditions, and domain modeling. Additionally, you'll explore case classes, sealed traits, enumerations, and tools setup to kickstart your programming journey with Scala. The module emphasizes practical application through assignments and hands-on tools setup.

Module 2: Standard Library, Loops

Delve into the essential aspects of Scala's standard library, including lists, collections, loops, and tail recursion. The module focuses on constructing and manipulating collections, querying and transforming them, and introduces the concept of loops, along with their syntax and functionality. You'll gain practical experience through loop examples and assignments.

Module 3: Build Tools, Modules

This module delves into organizing code, build tools, the sbt build tool, program entry points, encapsulation, and extending and refining classes. Additionally, you'll explore case classes, opaque types, and extension methods, gaining practical experience through the organization of code and hands-on tools setup.

Module 4: Reasoning About Code

Explore the critical aspect of reasoning about code, including refactoring-proof programs, handling side-effects, unit testing, property-based testing, mocking, integration testing, and debugging programs. The module emphasizes the importance of writing robust, testable, and maintainable code through practical examples and case studies.

Module 5: Type-Directed Programming

Dive into type-directed programming in Scala, covering context parameters, given definitions, type classes, conditional given definitions, implicit conversions, and their application in Scala 2. The module emphasizes leveraging type-directed programming to enhance code expressiveness, reusability, and maintainability.

Module 6: Error Handling, Concurrent Programming

This module focuses on error handling with Try, manipulating Try values, validating data, and combining Try and Either. Additionally, you'll delve into concurrent programming, operations on type Future, examples with Future, execution context, and understanding exceptions in Scala. The module equips you with the skills to handle errors and manage concurrent tasks effectively.
