Checklist for learning Scala

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Scalatra

    Tiny Scala high-performance, async web framework, inspired by Sinatra

  • Start collaborating on an open-source library: this point was a bit more complicated than I thought. Many libraries are either too big or have too many contributors already or are too advanced for a beginner or don’t have good-first-issues. I decided to settle down on Scalatra because I was already using it in my demo project.

  • scalatraseed

  • Find a project/application to build with Scala: a web app that supports most technologies that are required these days for a fully-featured website. I called it scalatraseed since it uses the Scalatra web framework at its core.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Find/create Scala cheat sheet: here

  • Scalastyle

    scalastyle

  • Find a code conventions document: the online Scala course that I’ve started uses Scalastyle for enforcing the style of the code. If it’s good enough for the Scala core team, it’s good enough for me.
