Building Reactive: Operation Trivia Game

Workshop Requirements

This session is a workshop. Please come prepared.

Java 8 must be installed! No exceptions! JDK 7 was so 2013.

One of the things that I ask are that the following commands work on your command line:

javac -version
java -version

If these do not render a version, please fix your JAVA_HOME environment variable and your PATH.

Also be sure to install SBT, which is a Scala based build tool since we will require that not only tooling but also packaging.

Get the latest sbt at http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html

Then, if applicable follow directions at this location:

http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Manual-Installation.html

Once done, you should be able to verify that sbt is working by invoking the following at the command line:

sbt sbtVersion

Also, be sure to have the LATEST favorite IDE installed with all updates loaded before attendance. That means, Eclipse should be preferably at Neon. IDEA should be a 2016.x series.

Finally, install respective Scala plugins, just in case we break out some Scala. For Eclipse, checkout, scala-ide.org or visit the Eclipse Marketplace and install Scala-IDE.

For IntelliJ IDEA visit the plugins section in your IDE and install the 'Scala' plugin (Do not install the IntelliJ 'sbt' plugin as it is incompatible with the Scala plugin)
