Scala Exercises

Found this site on the cat resources web page:

https://github.com/scala-exercises/scala-exercises

This platform looks interesting.  If you are trying to on-board new developers - it could provide the structure to create content customized for your company.

Thinking it's worthwhile to learn how to use this - based on prereq it doesn't look that hard to install

Prerequisites

• Install JDK 8, either the Oracle version or OpenJDK
• Install Scala
• Install SBT
• Install PostgreSQL 9.4
• Install the Sass Ruby gem and make sure the sass program can be run
• Install jsdom with npm install jsdom

Once the prereqs are installed you can clone the repo from Github and sbt compile will work

user@host:~/Github/scala-exercises$ sbt compile

 After configuring postgress db (see the scala-exercies docs) you can run

sbt -mem 1500 server/run

The site can now be run locally

  Now you can create content:

https://github.com/scala-exercises/scala-exercises/blob/master/DEV_GUIDE.md

Trying to run the content locally and getting error: something must be configured wrong as this is working in online version

 

 

Will have to come back to adding content later.  Hopefully its something simple
