Learn the syntax, data types, and operations essential for programming in Scala

Become a Scala Developer

In this module, we will learn Scala from the ground up. This module aims to teach us how to write basic programs, assuming we have no prior knowledge of the language. We will start with a brief introduction to Scala to understand its functionality and applications. We will then move discuss the key features and functions of the language (data types, functions, classes, etc.) in detail. In the end, we will have all the basic knowledge of how to program in Scala.

Learn Scala from Scratch

While Scala's default evaluation strategy is *call-by-value*, *call-by-name* can be enforced using `=>`. Hence, it is important to know when to use CBV and when to use CBN. Take a look at the function below.

In this lesson, we will take quick quiz to better understand CBV and CBN.
