Scala functions

Scala offers so many different concepts that it sometimes can be quite overwhelming. Scala blends object orientated and functional programming.

Today I found another usefull resource from the blogsphere[1]. The essential points discussed:

• the apply method
• Closures
• Partial Functions
• apply (ied) in many places
