   Spark is the single biggest use that comes to mind.

   Scala reminds me of Java trying to be Haskell. If you know either of those then you have a head start.

   This just emerged right in front of our eyes. Highest quality. Way better than Real World Ocaml.

   As you are asking for books - Scala for the impatient (http://www.horstmann.com/scala/) - Programming in Scala (https://booksites.artima.com/programming_in_scala_3ed)

   I found those books very good resources. The Scala website lists a few others (https://www.scala-lang.org/documentation/books.html)

   Aprt from that I found Daniel Westheides blog a very good starting point (http://danielwestheide.com/scala/neophytes.html)

   I learnt Scala from Odersky's "Programming in Scala" and can fully recommend it. I didn't have any functional language experience beforehand.

   Programming in Scala by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon, and Bill Venners.

   Beside a good introduction into Scala, that book also teach me the principles in computer programing. It's worth read again several times.
