Title: Will teach Scala programming for 1 BTC Post by: Amitabh S on March 24, 2013, 08:15:08 AM PM me to discuss mode of teaching, etc. Will work out details. Pre-requisites: Some java or other programming background.
Some background about Scala: Its one of the more cooler languages since C, C++, Java, Python etc... I'm not saying the above are not good, just that Scala has taken all the cool features from above and removed all the uncool ones. Wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scala_%28programming_language%29) Main page (http://scala-lang.org/) Is Scala too hard or are you just stupid? (http://fupeg.blogspot.in/2008/12/is-scala-too-hard-or-are-you-just.html) (not my article) Scala: The Static Language that Feels Dynamic (http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=328540) Advanced programming languages (http://matt.might.net/articles/best-programming-languages/#scala) Scala the statically typed dynamic language (http://www.scala-blogs.org/2007/12/scala-statically-typed-dynamic-language.html) Hammer Principle (http://www.hammerprinciple.com/therighttool/items/scala) About me: I am a Scala evangelist. I'd teach it for free, but why not earn some BTC while at it? Offer valid till stocks last. EDIT: If this post got you into Scala, and you are thankful to me for it, donations are welcome :D Title: Re: Will teach Scala programming for 1 BTC Post by: Jason on March 25, 2013, 07:02:05 PM Sorry to rain on your parade, but Coursera offers a free course in Scala taught by the creator of the language, Martin Odersky:
