With Indeed reporting [1] that the number of jobs available for developers with Scala skills rising and the recent Java.net poll showing Scala recognition [2] has had a marked growth within in the Java community, perhaps it's time to think about a new job in an entrepreneurial Java/Scala shop. But are you ready? What about those tough interview questions to face? Check yourself out with the Scala Exam at javaBLACKbelt [3].
Even for experienced Scala programmers it's fun, can be embarrassing, but is usually very informative. You can help too, by leaving a few of your favourite Scala questions to challenge the next takers, and help to improve the quality/depth of the exam for everyone.
If you are learning Scala on the fly, then you may enjoy Jesse Eichars Daily-Scala site [4]. It's one of the neat places where you can learn about different aspect of Scala in nice bite sizes every day. Just right for brushing up your Scala know-how.
