The Scala programming language is rapidly growing in popularity! Sadly, most of the online tutorials do not provide a step-by-step guide :(

At www.allaboutscala.com, we provide a complete beginner's tutorial to help you learn Scala in small, simple and easy steps.

• Tutorials are organized such that they allow you to learn gradually.
• Tutorials are written by taking into account the complete beginner.
• Tutorials will make you proficient with the same professional tools used by the Scala experts.

This book provides a step-by-step guide for the complete beginner to learn Scala. It is particularly useful to programmers, data scientists, big data engineers, students, or just about anyone who wants to get up to speed fast with Scala (especially within an enterprise context). You get to build a real-world Scala multi-project with Akka HTTP.
