There's 2 gentle intro to Scala:

The other is the Pragmatic book by Subramaniam (Aug 4, 2009). Covers 2.7 (current is 2.9.1) but conveys well the power of simple code.

(The Staircase book by Spoon, Odersky and Venners is pretty gentle, but, uh, big)

You could look at this deck that mentions web apps in scala, haskell, F#, ocaml, erlang and clojure (adn also look at scheme and common Lisp
