Screencast: Get Started with Scala 2.8 Beta 1

Getting started with any programming language is a daunting task, let alone getting your workstation in a state to create a non-trivial application. I spent a few days reading and trying many Scala tools and libraries. I use some of my findings in this screencast.

This screencast covers how to create a Scala console-based project. I use the simple-build-tool (sbt) to compile, run, test and then eclipsify a project. I briefly cover where to put source code, tests and how to use Eclipse to edit and debug the project. Click here to view to screencast.
