Teach on Immutability via Basic List #28

Closed DagnyTagg2013 closed 7 years ago

Much of the scaling power of Scala lies in the core concept of Immutability. Newbies need some kind of succinct context-framing around this to make their learning time a productive investment.

They can get this from exercises in the "Atomic Scala" book.

Please see '/curriculum/exercises' repo for 'ListBasics.sc' overview on first attempt to teach to Newbies with needed context-framing. Disclaimer: I'm a Newbie who just Googles up stuff.

NOTE: An *.sc is just an IntelliJ Scala Worksheet, which is a Scala Script that can be run within that IDE; or equivalently, pasted and run in the command-line REPL.

Cool, good idea - I'll take a look!
