I saw a copy of Functional Programming in Scala by Paul Chiusano and Rúnar Bjarnason at Half Price Books and couldn’t resist buying it after skimming through a bit. I’ll add it to the lending library.
One review said that it has a lot of detail but not much practical application, and it recommended this other book for practical examples:
I was reading the FP in Scala book last night and it’s pretty good so far.
A few things that aren’t mentioned:
To run code in the browser, try Scastie.
To run code locally, you can use sbt.
Create a new project use this command and type in the project name when prompted:
$ sbt new scala/hello-world.g8
Then you can start a REPL with sbt. Type console after it’s compiled, and you’ll see the scala> prompt.
There is a quick overview of the language here:

I haven’t watched them, but there are some short video tutorials here:
