The programming scala book by odersky et. al. is like "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrope. You sort of need to know the language a bit before tearing into the book. I'd recommend David's book as a starter as well, unless you're slightly familiar with Scala as a language, or prefer to dive into things quickly.
