To everybody at Packt Publishing, thanks for working so hard to make this book a reality. To
Chaitanya Nair, thanks for reaching out to me with this project. To Nikhil Borkar, thanks for
providing us with guidance along the way. To Michael Diamant, my coauthor, coworker, and friend,
thanks for the knowledge you have brought to this book and for being an inspiration every day. To my
parents, thanks for your love and support and for buying me my first computer. And finally, to my
wife, Julie, thanks for your constant encouragement and for giving me such a wonderful son.
Michael Diamant
is a professional software engineer and functional programming
enthusiast. He began his career in 2009 focused on Java and the object-oriented
programming paradigm. After learning about Scala in 2011, he has focused on using Scala
and the functional programming paradigm to build software systems in the financial
trading and advertising domains. Michael is a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute
and lives in the Boston area.
The knowledge I am able to share in this book is the result of a lifetime of support and teaching from
others. I want to recognize my coauthor, Vincent, for pushing me to take on this effort and for all the
hours spent together developing the thoughts contained in our book. All of my current and former
colleagues have helped me sharpen my engineering skills, and without their generosity of sharing
their learning, I would not have been able to write this book. In addition to Vincent, I want to call out
several colleagues that I feel particularly indebted to: Dave Stevens, Gary Malouf, Eugene Kolnick,
and Johnny Everson. Thank you to my parents and my brother for supporting me and shaping me
into the individual I am today. I am deeply appreciative of the support my girlfriend, Anna, gave me
throughout the writing process. And last but not least, thank you to Packt Publishing for helping us
write our first book.
