Scala Language Basics

This video begins the real introduction to Scala. We start with certain basic programming language constructs such as tokens, statements, expressions, types, and literals.

This video is part of a series of learning support material for "Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala".

I'm glad you find them helpful. While my primary audience is my students, I'm posting them on YouTube because I would like for lots of people to be able to benefit from them.

Excellent. Step By Step Approach towards making Audience Understand. This is what I consider Passion for Technology.

Mr Lewis, Thank you so much for your work. Your video series on programming using Scala is incredibility helpful. I greatly appreciate you for taking the time to be so complete in your presentation. In the future, if you would like help balancing the audio in your videos (removing distortion and leveling the volume), let me know. I can provide some simple solutions for free.

I see two playlist for learning Scala. 1. Intro to the Art of programming using Scala 2. Intro to programming and problem solving using Scala. Could you tell me which one should I follow? @Mark Lewis

[MarkLewis]

Chapter 5 has a video that introduces higher-order functions. (Unfortunately, I can't post links in comments.) They are used in the chapters that follow that.

[MarkLewis]

The one problem there is that if I insert something into a playlist I have to retitle everything. They are all organized into playlists under my channel. Unfortuantely, I can't post links in the comments or I would post a link to the playlist that this is in, it is chapter 3 of my book.

Hello Mark Lewis,

I went through some of the videos on your YouTube channel and really enjoyed what I saw. I especially liked Scala Language Basics.

You should consider creating a training course on Udemy. My friend Marc Guberti is looking to add a course about Scala to the courses that he provides. He can guide you as you create a course about Scala and he will do all of the marketing once the course gets published.



You would split all of the revenue from the Scala course 50/50 in exchange for the expertise that you provide in the training course.



Please let me know if you are interested in creating a Scala that Marc will then promote to thousands of his students.



Warm regards,

Raveendra.

Dear mark, this tut is quite useful but may I ask you to keep some numbering in the video title so that one can learn them in sequence. For example you mentioned this is 3rd lecture but where are 2nd and 4th one onwards?

Hey Mark, can u make a video on higher order function?

This doesn't explain anything about Scala syntax. This is basic idioms in programming expressions.
