I remember one of my colleague showing me this book that he purchased at the Scala days this year in Amsterdam. I just borrowed the book from him and read through some random topics and I liked it instantly. I missed the chance to get a copy for myself at the Scala days. I now see here another chance to get a hand at the book. I have read through most of the puzzles at http://scalapuzzlers.com/about.html Very interesting!

The website looks interesting. Does the book has the same puzzles or it has something more to offer?

Looking at the table of contents of the book, I would say it is more or less the same content in the book as well!

The book covers the same set of puzzlers which are on the website. However, in the book we provide much more detailed explanations and discussions. In addition, we use puzzlers to educate the reader on some relevant Scala features.
You can see for yourself the difference between the book and the online content, by reading the sample chapter: http://www.artima.com/samples/ScalaPuzzlersCh2.pdf and comparing it with the online version: http://scalapuzzlers.com/#pzzlr-003
