This is the first post of a series of mashup post which try to combine the following books in a Scala way:
Having completely read the Head First Design Patterns and (partly) the second edition of Effective Java, I highly recommend those two books to Java developers.
I am right now studying Programming in Scala and I am not sure if I can recommend it.
The mashup will try to find common patterns in Effective Java and Head First and try to related these patterns to the Scala world. Hopefully, this approach will represent a different way to learn Scala – highly Java focused and with mixing design patterns and effective programming style in.
