Praise for the first edition:
"The well-written, comprehensive book…[is] aiming to become a de facto reference for the language and its features and capabilities. The pace is appropriate for beginners; programming concepts are introduced progressively through a range of examples and then used as tools for building applications in various domains, including sophisticated data structures and algorithms…Highly recommended. Students of all levels, faculty, and professionals/practitioners.
―D. Papamichail, University of Miami in CHOICE Magazine
Mark Lewis’ Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala was the first textbook to use Scala for introductory CS courses. Fully revised and expanded, the new edition of this popular text has been divided into two books. Introduction to Programming and Problem-Solving Using Scala is designed to be used in first semester college classrooms to teach students beginning programming with Scala. The book focuses on the key topics students need to know in an introductory course, while also highlighting the features that make Scala a great programming language to learn.
The book is filled with end-of-chapter projects and exercises, and the authors have also posted a number of different supplements on the book website. Video lectures for each chapter in the book are also available on YouTube. The videos show construction of code from the ground up and this type of "live coding" is invaluable for learning to program, as it allows students into the mind of a more experienced programmer, where they can see the thought processes associated with the development of the code.

Mark Lewis 的《使用 Scala 的程式設計藝術導論》是第一本將 Scala 用於入門計算機科學課程的教科書。這本受歡迎的教材經過全面修訂和擴展，分為兩本書。
《使用 Scala 的程式設計與問題解決導論》旨在用於大學第一學期的課堂，教導學生使用 Scala 進行初學程式設計。這本書專注於學生在入門課程中需要了解的關鍵主題，同時突顯 Scala 作為一種優秀程式設計語言的特性。
這本書充滿了每章結尾的專案和練習，作者還在書籍網站上發布了多種不同的補充資料。每章的視頻講座也可以在 YouTube 上找到。這些視頻展示了從零開始構建程式碼的過程，這種「即時編碼」的方式對於學習程式設計是無價的，因為它讓學生能夠進入更有經驗的程式設計師的思維，看到與程式碼開發相關的思考過程。
