Why learn Scala? You don't need to be a data scientist or distributed computing expert to appreciate this object-oriented functional programming language This practical book provides a comprehensive yet approachable introduction to the language complete with syntax diagrams examples & exercises You'll start with Scala's core types & syntax before diving into higher-order functions & immutable data structures Author Jason Swartz demonstrates why Scala's concise & expressive syntax make it an ideal language for Ruby or Python developers who want to improve their craft while its type safety & performance ensures that it's stable & fast enough for any application Learn about the core data types literals values & variables Discover how to think & write in expressions the foundation for Scala's syntax Write higher-order functions that accept or return other functions Become familiar with immutable data structures & easily transform them with type-safe & declarative operations Create custom infix operators to simplify existing operations or even to start your own domain-specific language Build classes that compose one or more traits for full reusability or create new functionality by mixing them in at instantiation ...

This introduction to circuit design is unusual in several respects First it offers not just explanations but a full course Each of the twenty-five sessions begins with a discussion of a particular sort of circuit followed by the chance to try it out & see how it actually behaves Accordingly students understand the circuit's operation in a way that is deeper & much more satisfying than the manipulation of formulas Second it describes circuits that more traditional engineering introductions would postpone on the third day we build a radio receiver; on the fifth day we build an operational amplifier from an array of transistors The digital half of the course centers on applying microcontrollers but gives exposure to Verilog a powerful Hardware Description Language Third it proceeds at a rapid pace but requires no prior knowledge of electronics Students gain intuitive understanding through immersion in good circuit design ...
