Scala 101

Scala is a very unique programming language. It is compatible with Java yet a bit different, as it supports two programming paradigms: object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming (FP). Scala is also being used in Big data space along with Apache Spark, which has further fueled its adoption by many Java developers interested in Big Data Space. Learning Scala will certainly make you more marketable. Many companies are using or migrating to Scala these days, including Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and Quora.
