Here are some links of Scala resources I have used in my learning process. Consider these all optional or supplemental reading.

The scala web site is a good place to start: http://www.scala-lang.org/documentation/

This Coursera course is good for learning the functional aspects of Scala: https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun
