TITLE: The Scala Language Tour

ABSTRACT:
A guided tour through the many language features and paradigms Scala offers, 
this presentation is meant to serve as a "look before you leap" guide for 
developers who may have been been discouraged when they first tried to jump 
into programming with Scala.  The Tour starts off with an overview of the 
Object Oriented features of Scala and then eases into the Functional aspects 
of the language.  Scala runs on the JVM and thus has access to the entire Java 
standard class library as well as the broad range of open source projects 
which have accumulated over the past two decades.
