The Little Scala Schemer

Just some code of mine as I've been working through the great classic - The Little Schemer

---

 

A few things I'm hoping to gain from this book (even though it's over twenty years old)

• An improved ability to think recursivly
• An introductory view of Lisp based programming (Although I am working through it in Scala)
• A better understanding of problem solving via functional based approaches

 

Why I love this book (And perhaps you will too!)

• It takes a slow sequential approach into teaching the differences between functions that are primitive, and functions that can be composed from those primitives and other composite functions.
• Its style is completely unique from any other textbook I've ever come across. You don't "read" page by page. Instead it's more like a question and answer conversation - where you read the left side of a page, think about it, and then compare your initial thought to the answer waiting on the right side of the page.

 

This is an SBT project. To run, simply clone this project and run in a console, "sbt test"
