Acquainted with Scala Programming Language

Dear Visitor

This is new topic in my blog. Scala, a programming language which designed by Martin Odersky. I’m newbie in scala, i’m curious about scala because twitter, one of my favorite social networking site using it, and i heard foursquare too.

I think for further information about scala  you could find at http://scala-lang.org.

Now i want to share my problem when i was using scala for the first time. In my case, i using netbeans as IDE (Yap, Netbeans is my favorite IDE).

What is the minimum requirement to learn scala ?

The first, you have to download scala platform. You can download here. After downloading scala, we must download Netbeans Plugin for scala development, it’s project named with earlybird.

If the plugin have been downloaded. You can extract it (Anywhere)  and then run your netbeans (in this example using netbeans 6.8) .. Choose Tools–> Plugins –> Open Tab Downloaded –> Add Plugins.

Add all of file that you have downloaded.

Restart your netbeans IDE and then create new Scala Project

File –> New Project

Creating Scala Project

Create Scala Object and type script below

package scalaapplication1
object Main {
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
println("Hello Scala")  }
}
