"Hey, This college sounds familiar."

Dr. Lewis' book is listed on Amazon as having a publication date of October 30, 2012.

[edit: The author himself will tell you; If you're already familiar with programming basics, and just want to learn Scala, you'll be better of with Odersky's text.]

That's a very good point, the book really an intro to CS text that happens to use Scala.

(Hey Patrick! Long time since the RCC days...)
