• Scala Homework problems: hw-scala-3.4.1.zip

Textbook

• Concepts in Programming Languages by Mitchell, published by Cambridge University Press.

  Last time I checked there was not an copy in the DePaul Library.

  The first few chapters are partly available in a preview.

  There may also be a PDF of the entire book available for free. Use a search engine to find out.
