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>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>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>Related Good Stuff</h2> <ul> <li>"editing goodness" == <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' 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'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>
