This repository is the online hub for the book Hands-on Scala Programming:

• Chapter Notes, Errata, and Discussion: go here if you want to leave comments or ask questions about individual chapters

• Code Snippets: copy-paste friendly versions of every code snippet in the book

• Chapter Resource Files: files used as part of the book's programming exercises

• Executable Code Examples: self-contained executable programs for the topics being presented in each chapter.

The executable code examples from Hands-on Scala are freely available online, and open source under an MIT license. These examples are meant to be useful to anyone who is interested in learning Scala, whether or not they are working through Hands-on Scala Programming, though following along with the book will give you the best experience and help you get the most out of them.

Each example is:

• Self-contained: to be run either using the Ammonite script runner or Mill build tool, with no other setup

• Tested: with simple test suites provided and instructions on how to run each example in that folder's readme.md file

• Executable: you can download the folder and run the example yourself to see it in action

Many of the examples are related, with only small code changes between them to illustrate a new feature or technique. The readme.md file of such downstream examples will show a diff from the upstream example that it was based upon, so you can focus your attention on the important code changes that are happening, with a link back up to the upstream example.

The executable code examples below are organized by each part and each chapter of the book.
