Abstract

This tutorial introduces the new programming language Scala [2,3,4] being developed by Martin Odersky and his team at EPFL in Switzerland. Although Scala arose from the academic research community, it has generated considerable interest in the practitioner community as a possible replacement for Java in enterprise software development. (Odersky was one of the designers of the generic type features added to Java 5.)
