• Override and overload methods
• Create primary and auxiliary constructors
• Call superclass constructors and methods
• Understand and use parametric fields
• Create factory methods in companion objects
• Construct simple DSLs (Domain Specific Languages)
• Understand top and bottom types and how Scala uses them
• Write correct equals and hashCode methods
• Use traits to mix behavior into classes
• Know the different styles of packages and visibility modifiers
• Be able to import anything from anywhere
• Write pre-conditions and post-conditions
• Test your code with unit testing
