Perfect timing! Learning Scala is exactly what I'm doing over the long weekend.. Great post!

Also check out: http://blog.typesafe.com/free-pdf-from-typesafe-scala-for-th... In my experience most people find that the best introduction.

Thanks! will do.

Why are you learning it? It's a serious question no trolling.

More of an academic exercise, just to further my understanding of other languages/frameworks (I'm looking into Play! also)
