The Neophyte's Guide to Scala

From November 2012 to April 2013, I created and published a blog series called The Neophyte’s Guide to Scala, targeted at aspiring Scala enthusiasts who have already made their first steps with the language and are looking for more detailed explanations.

This page serves as a hub for everything related to this series.
