OMG spoilers

This project has not yet been publicly announced. Not that there's anything particularly scary here, but it's still full of hipster ipsum and isn't ready for primetime. For now: the first rule of Scala School is you do not talk about Scala School. Don't share links here just yet; we'll announce soon.

The goal of Scala School 2 is to provide organized, interactive, reference-quality material for learning the Scala language. It is implemented as a self-contained, locally running web server, which serves book-style material along with live, editable and runnable code snippets. This is intended both for self-paced study as well as for classroom-style lecture and group exercise.

We aim to eventually provide this as a high availability public service, hosted by Twitter, for people everywhere to learn Scala. Currently, however, this is a very bad idea for technical reasons: the underlying Scala interpreter is not sandboxed (see issues #6 and #7). So, for now, please download the project and run it locally.

sbt run will start an HTTP server on port 8080.
