Russian post is
here.
There's good article in Linkedin engineering blog -
"Play Framework: async I/O without the thread pool and callback hell". As you could guess it's about programming on
Scala using
Play Framework. :) - starting from event-driven vs threaded programming model, but after that it says how Scala-specific things could help avoid of event programming flaws like callback hell etc.
What if you don't know
Scala language? You can master it using fun game
Scalatron - you'll need to write bots which will compete in a virtual arena for energy and survival.
But if you're prefer more traditional learning -
Martin Odersky himself bring second iteration of
Functional Programming Principles in Scala course on
coursera.org from March 25, you still have time to sign in. It's quite intresting and not very hard - it was possible even for me to finish it (although with not very great results :)
IMHO
Scala is quite intresting language. I think it's somewhat similar to Perl, but not about syntax, it's about... I don't know.. impression? It's also quite brief (especially comparable to Java) and powerful.
