When I wanted to learn Scala, my first steps were to get Scala, SBT and Intellij IDEA installed. And then I needed to get IntelliJ IDEA to know about my locations for scala, scalac, and sbt.
The next step was to find some offline resources, so I could learn on the train. Here are enough resources to get you going:
- Scala by Example
- The Typesafe Activator e-books – great collection of sample chapters.
Happy hacking!
