Programming in Scala, by Martin Odersky et al., is one of the most comprehensive and the de facto reference for Scala.

However, the book, originally published in 2008 for Scala 2.7.2, has not been updated since its second edition in 2010, covering up until Scala 2.8.1. In the meantime, Scala had 3 major releases with numerous fresh and advanced features.

While we wait for a third edition of Programming in Scala to describe all the latest and greatest Scala features introduced in the last 4 years, this talk presents the main features introduced in Scala 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11:

Parallel collections
Value classes, implicit classes, and extension methods
String interpolation
Futures and Promises
Akka actors
Macros and quasiquotes
Reflection
Modularization
Dynamic types
Error handling with Try
The App trait
New methods in collections
Case classes with more than 22 parameters
Predef.???
sbt incremental compilation
2.12 and beyond: what's in Scala future?
