Intro Coding Dojo

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 clone http://github.com/jcasadella/intro-coding-dojo . 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
