Scala Video Tutorials

Hi. How about Martin's talk at JavaPolis'07 (58 mins). This provides a
great overview, including examples of clever things that become
possible when functions are instances of classes. It coincides with
the release of the very first (pdf-only) version of the Programming in
Scala book.

Maybe this talk by Martin Odersky is a good start? It is a presentation
at DEFCON 2009, in which he gives an overview of the language and some
insights about the ideas behind the design.

I am sort of dabbling with Scala and am wondering if there are any sites
you can share with me where there are free/paid video tutorials of Scala
Programming Language.

Gentlemen,  I am sort of dabbling with Scala and am wondering if there are any sites you can share with me where there are free/paid video tutorials of Scala Programming Language. For instance I am looking at something similar to these sites
nodetuts.com - for nodejsteachmetocode.com - for ruby/rails stackscreencasts.org - for ruby/webdev in general stack blip.tv/clojure - for clojure (there was another site I forget)pragprog.com/screencasts - paid but good quality

but from a Scala perspective. Most of the talks I have found on infoq, skillsmatter are a bit more specific to a particular topic or solution than a coverage of the language in general.I would appreciate if you could can share the information.

Thanks a lot for all your responses and valuable links. Very much appreciated.
