Ask HN: Good, enthusiastic intro to Scala?
2 comments
a book-free way to do it would be to start with reading an introduction such as: http://www.codecommit.com/blog/scala/roundup-scala-for-java-... (not really entertaining, but good content)
Once you are done with that, read articles on the fantastic Daily Scala blog: http://daily-scala.blogspot.com/ . There are LOTS of useful little morsels in there.
For a beginner asking questions, stackoverflow is IMO the place to go, the people on the mailing lists can sometimes be a bit hostile towards newbies.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good introduction/overview of Scala? I'm looking for something that is also entertaining to read, like a Scala version of "_why's Poignant Guide to Ruby" (I don't expect anything to be quite like that, but maybe closer to that side of the spectrum than the other).
