The Scala 2.8 Collections API contains a large number of collection operations, which exist uniformly on many different collection implementations.

These pages [1]describe the architecture of the Scala collections framework in detail. Compared to the the description of the Scala 2.8 Collections API [2] you will find out more about the internal workings of the framework. You will also learn how this architecture helps you define your own collections in a few lines of code, while reusing the overwhelming part of collection functionality from the framework.
