You should go to Scala school!

If you haven't already, you really should check out Twitter's Scala School.

Of course you know that Twitter, LinkedIn! and FourSquare all love Scala. But Twitter in an flash of admittedly enlightened self interest, created the Scala School web site to help their own employees and potential employees quickly and easily learn Scala. 

One of the claims floating around the Internet is that Scala is hard to learn. Having spent about a year and half hacking around with Scala at this point I have to admit that there are aspects to the syntax that can be daunting at first. But the Scala School from Twitter provides a great example of how easy it can be to pick up the core of Scala and even do it with a functional programming approach early in the process. 

So, what are you waiting for, check it out!
