Activator Template of the Month: Atomic Scala by Dick Wall.
From the post:
As readers of the Typesafe newsletter may know, every month we promote an Activator template that embodies qualities we look for in tutorials and topics. This month’s template is a return to first principles of Activator as an experimentation and discovery tool. While the selection may be below your level, gentle reader, I will bet as an existing Scala developer, at least someone has asked you at some point how to go about learning Scala from the ground up, or even better, how to go about learning to program.
…
The Atomic Scala Examples activator template, authored by Bruce Eckel (one of the book authors) is a companion to the book but is useful in its own right (i.e. while I recommend the book, you don’t have to buy it to find the template useful). The template takes each of the examples in the book and provides them in an executable and easily runnable form. If you want to help someone to learn to program, and even better to do so using Scala, here’s your template. You can also download the first 100 pages of the book for free if you want to as well.
Whether this is a technique that works for you or your student(s) won’t be known unless you try.
Enjoy!
I first saw this in a tweet by TypeSafe.
