Scala Summary / Reference Documentation for Standard Library Types

Question

Details on packages / types can be found in the Scala API documentation at scala -lang.org. But I, too, organized by the class (like a Scala neophyte) makes it difficult to find the exact data type that I need and determine which operation is supported for what (especially the huge and powerful scala.collections. * Tree).

Is there an online resource or dead tree file that more or less represents this reference information or directs the reader through the library?

Alternatively, maybe I just need to know how to make good use of the existing Scala API doc website.

Any advice on making effective use of the Scala standard library is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

For collections, in particular, there is a very good overview: http://www.scala-lang.org/docu/files/collections-api/collections.html
