商品描述

Praise for the first edition:

"The well-written, comprehensive book…[is] aiming to become a de facto reference for the language and its features and capabilities. The pace is appropriate for beginners; programming concepts are introduced progressively through a range of examples and then used as tools for building applications in various domains, including sophisticated data structures and algorithms…Highly recommended. Students of all levels, faculty, and professionals/practitioners.
D. Papamichail, University of Miami in CHOICE Magazine

Mark Lewis’ Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala was the first textbook to use Scala for introductory CS courses. Fully revised and expanded, the new edition of this popular text has been divided into two books. Introduction to Programming and Problem-Solving Using Scala is designed to be used in first semester college classrooms to teach students beginning programming with Scala. The book focuses on the key topics students need to know in an introductory course, while also highlighting the features that make Scala a great programming language to learn.

The book is filled with end-of-chapter projects and exercises, and the authors have also posted a number of different supplements on the book website. Video lectures for each chapter in the book are also available on YouTube. The videos show construction of code from the ground up and this type of "live coding" is invaluable for learning to program, as it allows students into the mind of a more experienced programmer, where they can see the thought processes associated with the development of the code.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

第一版的好評如潮:
這本寫得很好、內容全面的書籍,旨在成為該語言及其功能和能力的事實上的參考資料。適合初學者的節奏,透過一系列的例子逐步介紹程式設計概念,並將其用作在各個領域中構建應用程式的工具,包括複雜的資料結構和演算法...強烈推薦。適用於各個層次的學生、教職員和專業人士/實踐者。- D. Papamichail, 選擇雜誌, 邁阿密大學

Mark Lewis的《使用Scala進行程式設計藝術入門》是第一本使用Scala作為入門計算機科學課程的教科書。經過全面修訂和擴充,這本受歡迎的教材的新版已分為兩本書。《使用Scala進行程式設計和問題解決入門》旨在用於大學第一學期的課堂教學,教授學生使用Scala進行初級程式設計。該書重點介紹了學生在入門課程中需要了解的關鍵主題,同時突出了使Scala成為一門很好的程式設計語言的特點。

該書充滿了章節結束的專案和練習,作者還在書籍網站上發布了多種不同的補充資料。書中每一章的視頻講座也可以在YouTube上找到。這些視頻展示了從頭開始編寫程式碼的過程,這種“現場編碼”的方式對於學習程式設計非常有價值,因為它讓學生進入一位經驗豐富的程式設計師的思維中,他們可以看到與程式碼開發相關的思考過程。
