Overview
Scala is among the most popular programming languages and powers the code of several top websites around the world including Twitter, LinkedIn and The Guardian. This workshop gives you a comprehensive overview of the language and helps you dive deep into its concepts and fundamentals through a practical, hands-on tutorial.
As far as programming styles go, object oriented programming is the most popular one due to the various advantages it offers over other styles including code reuse and recycling, encapsulation, code maintenance etc. One such object oriented software program is Scala that is built on top of the Java virtual machine and allows code optimization and speed, much preferred in programming. It is among the highest paying technologies and there are lot of job opportunities for Scala experts.
This course will take you through Scala principles and Scala object-oriented programming, through a series of hands-on practical sessions, extensive code base and exercises which will help you write clean and functional code. With access to our extensive resources and the excellent instruction you will receive from our trainers, you will learn to write and test your Scala code by the end of the workshop.

- Ways to parameterize a type
- Kinds of types
- Using types to express domain constraints
Learning Objectives:
Look in detail at different flavors of defining a function. Apply the knowledge about types to make our functions polymorphic and of a higher order. Learn about recursion, tail recursion, and trampolining as important aspects of functional programming for the JVM.
- Ways to define a function
- Polymorphic functions
- Higher order functions
- Recursion

Hands-on:
Implement a head-recursive function. Implement a tail-recursive function for factorial calculation. Implement a recursive function for factorial calculation using trampolining.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about different types of implicits and recap the implicit scope resolution rules. Learn about type classes, the central implementation mechanism that's utilized in modern functional programming libraries.
- Types of implicits
- Context bounds
- Type classes
- Type classes and recursive resolution
- Type class variance
- Implicit scope resolution rules
Hands-on:
Implement implicit conversions, implicit classes, and implicit parameters.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the situations in which property-based testing can be especially useful, and look at how the expected properties can be formulated and the test data can be produced.
- Scala testing ecosystem
- Introduction to Behavior Driven Development
- ScalaTest
- Concept of property-based testing
- Properties
- Generators
- Shrinkers
- Properties as laws
Hands-on:
- Define an invariant property for sorting a list.

- Define an inductive property for sorting a list.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about functions and high order functions. Also, learn about the usage of collection library.
- Overview and usage collection library
- Immutability, persistent data structures and structural sharing
- Functions and high-order functions
Hands-on:
Use Immutability, persistent data structures and structural sharing.
Learning Objectives:
Revisit for loops and for expressions, learn about the differences and compose high order functions.
- For Loops

Hands-on:
Implement for loops and for expressions.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about linearization, scala type system and traits.
- Scala type system
- Mix-in traits
- Linearization
Hands-on:
Mix-in traits in a class to use Linearization process.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about Pattern matching; exceptions, tuples.
- Usage and benefits
- Catch exceptions
- Deconstruct tuples
Hands-on:
Implement pattern matching by using exceptions and tuples.
Learning Objectives:
Learn how the mentioned aspects are covered by Scala's standard library.
- Foundations of encoding runtime aspects with types
- Option
- Either
- Try
- Future
Hands-on:
Explore built-in effects and the effects defined in the standard library, apply option, try, either and then future.

Project
Towards the end of the course, all participants will be required to work on a project to get hands-on familiarity with the concepts learnt. You will use Scala features and write code with full support from your mentors. This
project, which can also be a live industry project, will be reviewed by our instructors and industry experts.
