A question for Rapidcoder about scala
I would have in boxed him, but he has private messages disabled. That said, anyone else who has an answer is welcome to give it :P
I was wondering if he could recommend a good book for learning scala. I've adopted it for the FP portion of a project of mine, and the more I learn about it the more I want to learn it completely (possibly replace Java as my favored JVM langauge)

The only book I've read on Scala is free "Scala by Example" by M. Odersky [1]. It is a good introductory book, but far from complete reference. I learn mostly by learning blogs, discussion list, reading ScalaDoc, reading material posted on scala-lang.org (there is quite a lot of it, actually). I've heard "Programming in Scala" by Odersky, Spoon and Venners [2] is very good.
