Look inside
TechPower wants to grow in the tech market and enhance its presence by adding new technologies to its toolbox. Scala is a good option as it combines functional and object-oriented programming paradigms. As a software engineer, your task is to add features and functionality to the consulting company’s current project: a music-sharing platform where artists can share their music with the world. Using Scala, Simple Build Tool (SBT), and IntelliJ IDEA, you’ll design and implement functions for previously defined entities, then improve them by refactoring. When you’re done, you’ll know how to apply functional programming concepts to designing and implementing system functionality in a Scala project.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for beginner-level developers who know the basics of at least one language and are interested in learning Scala as well as the functional approach to system design. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Programming language basics (syntax, data types, implementing algorithms)
- Bash basics (installation, execution of commands and scripts)
- OOP basics (main principles, classes and objects, class relationships)
- Intermediate software engineering (function design and implementation, algorithms, and data structures)
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn how to apply functional programming concepts to designing and implementing system functionality in a Scala project.
- Functional programming paradigm (immutable data structures, pattern matching, higher-order functions, partial functions, options)
- Scala programming language basics (syntax, functional paradigm)
features
- Self-paced
- You choose the schedule and decide how much time to invest as you build your project.
