I spent a few days reading and trying many Scala tools and libraries. I share some of my findings in this screencast.</p> <p>This screencast covers how to create a <code>Scala</code> console-based project. I use the simple-build-tool (<code>sbt</code>) to compile, run, test and and then eclipsify a project. I briefly cover where to put source code, tests and how to edit and debug the project within the Eclipse IDE.</p> <h2 id="preqrequisites">Preqrequisites</h2> <p>Must be installed</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/simple-build-tool/">simple-build-tool (sbt)</a></li> </ul> <p>Optional</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://git-scm.com/download">git</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">Eclipse 3.5.2</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scala-lang.org/node/94">scala-ide plugin</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="steps">Steps</h2> <ol> <li> <p>Clone OR download/extract source from <a href="http://github.com/mgutz/sbt-console-template">sbt-console-template</a></p> <pre><code> % git clone git@github.com:mgutz/sbt-console-template.git your-project </code></pre> </li> <li> <p>From <code>sbt</code> console</p> <pre><code> # update dependencies &gt; update # run project &gt; run # test project continuously &gt; ~test # eclipsify &gt; eclipse </code></pre> </li> </ol> <h2 id="related-good-stuff">Related Good Stuff</h2> <ul> <li>&ldquo;editing goodness&rdquo; == <a href="http://code.google.com/p/macvim/">MacVim</a> + <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1658">NERD Tree</a> + <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2977">custom underwater colorscheme</a></li> <li><a href="http://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh">OH MY ZSHELL!</a></li> <li><a href="http://github.com/musk/SbtEclipsify">SbtEclipsify</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scalatest.org/">Scalatest</a></li> </ul>

It is the basic infrastructure for a minimalist blog.</p> <p>I plan to enhance my blog with jQuery effects. I may not merge the effects back into the <code>nanoc3_blog</code> project however. The starter kit should remain simple.</p> <p>I have mixed feelings about DISQUS. In general, the service is great. However, DISQUS&rsquo; javascript loading and processing intermittently affects the rendering of pages. In addition, the comment section below overpowers content with unnecessary design elements and options. Why not have a style which uses standard controls and a simpler form? I&rsquo;m DISQUSTED. OK, the styling is not too bad. I have a feeling <code>display:none</code> will be used generously in a custom stylesheet.</p>
