In order to learn any type of programming, you must be comfortable with two main topics. First, the operating system that you will be programming on, its origins, and common usages. Second, the concepts of languages as a whole – spoken, written, and symbolic or coded. Without this prerequisite context, some of the instructions in the coming chapters will be difficult to follow. So, before we attempt to learn anything in Scala, let’s briefly dive in and gain a deeper understanding of these topics as they will build a strong foundation for your software engineering career.
