Abstract
I first encountered the Scala language in 2010. I was working on a graduate training programme for an international banking organisation when I was asked to give an hour talk to the graduates on Scala. At that point I had heard the name mentioned but had no idea what it was. I therefore did some reading, installed the IDE being used and tried out some examples—and was hooked.
