Scala has become increasingly popular in many different IT sectors. The language is exceptionally feature-rich which helps developers write less code and get faster results. Design patterns make developer’s lives easier by helping them write great software that is easy to maintain, runs efficiently and is valuable to the company or people concerned.

We will also cover the popular "Gang of Four" design patterns and show you how to incorporate functional patterns effectively. By the end of this book, you will have enough knowledge and understanding to quickly assess problems and come up with elegant solutions.

What you will learn

• Immerse yourself in industry-standard design patterns—structural, creational, and behavioral—to create extraordinary applications.

• Feel the power of traits and their application in Scala.

• Implement abstract and self types and build clean design patterns.

OMG forget about all the other scala books read this one! What a lovely surprise! Enjoying reading this books, it's explaining things so concise and well. At first I thought this was only about design patterns but then I found it to be a great book about scala. I find his explanations so well- "What is important about monoids is that they give us the possibility to work with many different types of values in a common way"- "monads are structures that represent computations as sequence of steps"- "functors are things that can allow us to lift a function of type A => B to a function of the type F[A] => F[B]"- "the cake design pattern is the scala way to implement dependency injection"- "stackable traits is the scala way to implement the decorator design pattern"- "type class design pattern allows us to write generic code by defining a behaviour that must be supported by all members of a specific type class"and it goes on and on! just perils of clear explanations! what a lovely book.

I loved this book. I loved the initial part of the book which has a great coverage of traits. The book then moves to the GOF patterns (which were kind of known to me) but I loved the coverage of cake pattern and Scalaz.I highly recommend this book.

Wow, I must confess that I'm thoroughly impressed by the uniformness of excellence of fine book offers in its helpful coverage of diverse Scala topics. This is an excellent second or third book for somebody has spent time getting comfortable with learning and using Scala. As the author correctly notes, "Using Scala to its full potential, however, requires us to be familiar with not only the object-oriented features, but also with the functional ones". And he does a really good job of covering both features (OO and FP). Plus, having meaningful examples makes learning and understanding a more pleasant experience. To that end, the author has provided plenty of examples that you can map to real problems that you would potentially be solving. All in all, "Scala Design Patterns" will be a superb addition to your programming library!

I found the book a useful collection of best practises and techniques you normally gain over time and after months of study on various resources.Here you have all in one place, ready to consult if you're a novice or an experienced dev.Definitely recommended if you are an experienced Java dev and you're looking for how to do things in the right way, without wasting days in researching!

I put 2 stars because the Kindle version is impossible to read. There is no format at all.
