Hello, I bought the Scala book in PDF format (Odersky/Spoon/Venners) and pretty much jumped around it (benefit of PDF is the hyperlinks) for about a week. I am probably proficient with everything in chapters 1-18 which is still pretty much beginner/novice level, but I need the web/book before I tackle most other concepts.
But I just wanted to get my hands dirty with a couple of apps and dived straight in. You learn by doing. You learn by reading someone else's code, which is what I've been doing a lot with the Lift sources (I have a local Git clone, and set it up in Eclipse). So, in a nutshell: learn the Scala basics, and get your hands dirty. Open a console and faff about, then start writing apps! :-) What I've done so far can be found here: http://github.com/opyate/Ken http://github.com/opyate/yauser Happy coding!
