Re: What books would you like to see written on Scala?

Hi Francois and y'all,

Yup. Monadic Design Patterns by Greg Meredith is in the pipeline.

Actors in Scala is the name of Philipp and Frank's book. Meeting with
Philipp and the editor on that tonight in fact. Actors will be the
next book we publish, currently scrambling to get it out end of
September.

The name of the Scala mocking framework is Borachio (by Paul Butcher).

Dick Wall and I are thinking of writing a pair of Effective Scala
books, one for library users and the other for library designers. I
haven't seen what Josh has done yet with Scala in Depth, but I'm
pretty sure given his descriptions that it would be different from
what Dick and I have in mind. We're want to write them with lots of
community feedback as we go, because these should document what the
community has learned over time.

I hope so. On the other hand, the first three are already completed,
just undergoing editing. The functional programming one I wouldn't
have mentioned if Tony was not so emphatic about it. :-) I'm just
trying to focus on thing that are almost out there. I should have left
the FP one out.
