What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Meets expectations of Java developer

Amazon Verified review

Jens Richnow May 29, 2014

Book ReviewI enjoyed reading the book 'Scala for Java Developers'! It covers so many topics a developer is faced with every day and across the entire development stack (testing, DB interaction, UI, Web Services, etc. - the table of contents says it all). Despite of approaching such a wide range of topics each gives one gives a gentle introduction with hands-on examples that are easy to understand and follow. Also, there are always many pointers on where to go next and references for further reading.Especially now with Java 8 introducing streams and lambdas it will be a compelling cross-over as Java developers get to know functional programming which makes using both languages and/or migration from Java Scala easier.Another goog point is the advice to pick small(ish) projects/features to get into Scala, to get to run Scala alongside an existing Java project. Once a certain confidence is achieved new projects, features or modules can be written entirely in Scala to complement existing Java projects.As a disclaimer: I have been a Java developer for 15+ years and actively looking at Scala for more than a year now. I implemented a few small projects using the Typesafe stack, did read a few books about Scala and followed the courses at Coursera. I wished that this book had been available at the beginning of my journey as it really eases the introduction into Scala as an alternative/complement to Java and highlights the advantages of Scala. Nevertheless, the book provided so many new tricks and ways of implementing certain solution that it was invaluable. I applied quite a number of the nuggads straight to existing applications.In summary, the book is well written, rather pragmatic, no-nonsense in approach and easy to follow. I will certainly keep it as reference handy at all times. I can recommend the book not only to any Java developer looking into getting a new tool under the toolbelt but also developers who are new(ish) to Scala as they will pick up many tricks and tips.

Scala for Java Developers takes your journey through what is scala? How Scala integrates with Java.The book covers all the components of scala ecosystem. Scala, Play Framework, Akka and Reactive applications topics can have their own book. This book will be helpful for beginners and as well some one who are adopting and want to take quick overlook of what each technology does.The only thing I didnt like is the author used Netbeans in one chapter and eclipse in another chapter? The book should ideally have used one IDE.Note: I got the book as part of the reviewers program by Packtpub.

I wish this book had existed when I fitst started learning Scala . Coming from the Java (object-oriented / imperative) school, all I could do is just some trial and error attempts (this is where the Scala REPL helped a lot).While other books are targetting readers from different backgrounds, this one is essentially written for those coming from the Java (object-oriented / imperative)The most interesting aspects in my opinion of this books are :- Introduction to scala collections- Overview of the interoperability with Java- Scala tools and ecosystem (SBT, ScalaTest...)- XML and JSON manipulation- Concurrency programming and how to deal with asynchronous actionsMost of all, the book is full of real life examples which take advantage of technologies such as Play / Akka / NoSql... Those are easy to test in your local environment.It should provide the reader a pragmactic guide to scala adoption.

I read this book after reading the Scala Cookbook and I found it extremely useful. It's more of "what" rather than "how".

Scala for Java Developers: Build reactive, scalable applications and integrate Java code with the power of Scala.
