Scala

This page is now really old….

Scala Homepage - http://www.scala-lang.org/

Tools

• Scala itself
• SBT - for building
• Eclipse - Scala IDE

On Mac you can get Scala and SBT using MacPorts

Play Framework

• http://www.playframework.com - lightweight web framework for Java/Scala
  • v1 was Java based
  • v2 is more Scala based

Notes from Todo List tutorial

• I uncommented the properties config for the h2 in mem db but not sure if I needed to
• I had to recomment this section when deploying to heroku since the default db was being confused (heroku uses postregresql not h2)
• Some of the instructions for the build were inaccurate in the local version of the docs - they mentioned Build.scala but the convention is now to use build.sbt

Overall pretty great tutorial and good motivation to get back into learning Scala.
