Welcome to the ranch! I am also back after a very long time. My question to you is related to your book. I enjoyed solving and reading Java Puzzlers. Is Scala Puzzler going to follow a similar pattern? Or to rephrase my question how exciting is it going to be solving Scala Puzzlers?

Hi Palak

> Or to rephrase my question how exciting is it going to be solving Scala Puzzlers?

That depends a lot on how much Scala experience you have, I'd say ;-) Only one or two of the puzzlers are the result of the behaviour of Java libraries or the JVM - the vast majority are puzzlers that try to highlight unexpected behaviour in Scala code. Put a different way, whilst the format of Scala Puzzlers is similar to Java Puzzlers, the "problems" are all different, and are based on Scala, rather than Java.

So if you have some experience with Scala, you should hopefully really enjoy the book! There's a link to a sample chapter in one of Nermin's comments in a different thread.
