Scala Dojo?

[Colin Howe]

Hey All,

We seem to have a fair amount of beginner level interest in Scala. So,
I thought we should put on a Dojo and help everyone get to grips with
it :-)

What does everyone else think?
Any suggestions on what we could do?

Andy, are we able to slot this in to one of our Skills Matter
sessions?

Cheers,
Colin

Douglas Squirrel already volunteered help with Dojos on a previous thread.

I vote we take him up on the offer, and don't mind at all that he'll use it to try and recruit us all :)

Hi Colin,
We certainly should do it.
Shall we put a list of potential problems for solving on Google Wave?
There was a couple of suggestions from Robert Rees already for example
implementing Elite game.

Thanks
Rustem

I've created a Wave on this... I don't know how to get a URL for
sharing though.

I've invited some of you guys on to it - maybe one of you know how to
share it? :)

I'd love the chance to actually try out Scala.

For the basic language the mastermind scoring system is a nice one. Get
a row of colours as the guess, another as the hidden solution, output is
black and white pegs. Surprisingly tricky.

For the actor stuff, a fault tolerant timer is a good one. Done this as
an Erlang exercise recently and it's about the right size.
