Recommended (not required) Textbooks

Programming in Scala, Second Edition Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon, Bill Ventners I think this is an important language, and you should buy this book and keep it. Martin Odersky is the primary author of the Scala language, and writes very well. The book is long but mostly very readable. As for the other languages, there is plenty of documentation online. $34.62 at Amazon.

Scala for the Impatient Cay S. Horstmann This book is more condensed than the Odersky book, and actually covers more of the Scala language. It is also quite readable. 360 pages, $26.39 at Amazon.

In general, you should use the latest versions of all your software.The links below may or may not be up to date, so if you find newer versions of anything, please let me know.
