When you start learning a new programming language you likely begin with an environment setup, of course if you don't learn JavaScript, because in this case a browser would be enough. I bet, that the next step after the environment setup are variables. Definitely you need to start from variables, because it's the most essential topic in process of learning new programming language!
Let's briefly discuss how to deal with a resources folder and directories in Scala project. It's pretty frequent case in a programming, when you need to interact with file system, Scala isn't an exception. So how it can be done on practice?
Working with a JSON is very common task in a software development process.

How to make a right choice from the Spray JSON, Play JSON, Argonaut, Jackson, Rapture and many more?
The most part of time when I'm coding I use Java. So it's my main programming language. It satisfies me in all aspects, but I notice that Java is too verbose sometimes. That's why I have switched to Scala. So all free time I spend now for learning Scala. I'm going to publish some notes in my blog, hence you are welcome to visit new page of my blog which will be dedicated to Scala.
The first serious article will be about Scala OOP.
This article will be dedicated to installation of Scala on PC with Windows 7. In general, doesn't metter which Windows you have. All steps you need to perform are approximately the same for all versions of Windows. In my previous post I have described how to install Scala on Mac OS.
