Scala for the impatient is a 400 page book that essentially teaches the syntax :) I can recommend a drastically less time-consuming algorithm:

1. Watch a 1-hour video that teaches HelloWorld-stuff in Scala: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzFt0YkZo8M

2. Then read first 45 pages (free sample) of my book https://leanpub.com/modern-web-development-with-scala
