One more week we're hosting a Scala meetup at itnig. This time they've organized a very practical one.
Here's the complete info:
Please bring your laptop and *please* have it prepared for some scala coding. If it's your first time coding scala here's some tips:
1) Install a decent JVM (Oracle's hotspot 1.7+ or 1.8+)
2) Install SBT (http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html) and clonehttps://github.com/agilogy/sbt-skeleton . That repo is a barebone project with some test and code samples so you can quickly start coding. To ensure your SBT and repo clone work try the command: $ cd sbt-skeleton; sbt clean test package
3) Install an IDE supporting Scala code editing. Prefereably with SBT project import too. See http://scala-ide.org/ or https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?id=1347
