Scala for Java developers

Scala and functional programming can be scary at first for those of us coming from the OOP world. With a bunch of new concepts such as immutability, first-class functions, implicits, and a ton of language features, it is easy to get overwhelmed when jumping into Scala. We will take a look at some of the major advantages of Scala and why you should start using it. Walking away from this session you will have a good starting point for working with Scala without needing to know what monads and applicative functors are. Presented in English.

Nice small Examples...May be you can add Github links to code also Learning scala for Java Developers is fun....When I saw scala's match-case, I can now see how Java's switch case is poor.
