Scala functions are first-class citizens, which means they can be passed as arguments to other functions, returned as values from functions, and stored in data structures.

Many Scala books start with the REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) and scripting. Lewis starts with proper object-oriented structure but immediately introduces App traits to keep the boilerplate low.

One of the most important parts of the story is the format. While the book was eventually published in hardcover by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group), the PDF version became the lifeblood of the course.
