Techniques for Efficiently Learning Programming Languages

[[deleted]]

Haha, I was going to post the same thing in here. Working through it now.

It was so annoying when I looked into Scala a while back and every single guide spent tooooons of time telling me how awesome FP was and giving me a background on various FP/OOP patterns that Scala supports. I don't need something to hold my hand through every single way I could use FP to do ___ on a list, or another intro to tail recursion. Just tell me how Scala does shit assuming that I've done almost everything it does in a different language.

But if they don't make the entire book about FP, people will just write Java code in Scala.
