Fast Track to Scala Programming Essentials for OO / Java Developers

Scala is a modern programming language known for its power, flexibility, and ability to support both object-oriented and functional styles of development. It is used by companies building everything from high-performance backend systems to data-intensive applications, and it is gaining traction in machine learning and AI workflows due to its strong type system, expressiveness, and integration with tools like Apache Spark. If you are looking to build reliable, scalable software or expand your programming toolkit with skills that apply to real-world systems, Scala is a smart choice.

This expert-led course is designed for developers, engineers, and technical professionals who have some basic experience with OO languages, such as Java, and want to build practical Scala skills they can use right away. You will get hands-on with key concepts like higher-order functions, pattern matching, traits, mixins, for-comprehensions, and persistent data structures. You will apply what you learn by building projects such as functional web applications using the Play Framework, database-connected systems using Slick, and modular software using dependency injection and type classes. Each concept is introduced through clear explanations followed by hands-on labs, making sure you can use these skills in your own work.

Throughout the course, you will also practice building reliable, concurrent applications using Akka and Scala Futures, and strengthen your code quality with testing strategies like property-based testing and test-driven development. You will even explore how generative AI tools like GPT can be integrated into your Scala programs to create smarter, more dynamic applications. About fifty percent of your time will be spent working through hands-on exercises, giving you the chance to explore ideas, get feedback, and leave the class ready to apply everything you learned.
