Overview
Scala is a functional-object hybrid language. This LiveLesson provides a “get up to speed quickly” kind of introduction to Scala for Java programmers who are experienced with object-oriented techniques, but not necessarily familiar with functional programming.
Scala Programming LiveLessons covers the fundamentals of the Scala language you need to get started. After introducing basic concepts and Scala syntax, Ted Neward shows you how to use for comprehensions, functions, and imports. He then covers Scala collection classes, including arrays, list, options, pattern matching, maps, tuples, and recursion. The third lesson focuses on Scala's object facilities and explores classes, constructors, members, and access control. The last section explores inheritance in Scala and covers packages, traits, abstracts, objects, generics and JavaBeans.

"Good introduction to Scala" - by Sujit Pal on 10-FEB-2012
Reviewer Rating:
I've tried to learn from the Scala book by Odersky, and that has a lot more detail. Its been a while since that attempt, so decided to brush up with this video. Happy to report that the video is quite comprehensive and will get you started (mostly). Some things that would be interesting to Java programmers would be how to use a build system to build larger applications using Scala.
