- Books
ApplicationsProgramming- Beginners guide to programming.
- Unix
- Editors for writing your Scala code
- JEdit - Multiplatform, easy to use editor.
- Kate - Easy to use editor with built-in Scala support, but only works (easily) on Linux.
- ScalaEdit - An editor designed with Scala in mind. It looks to have been started as a project fairly recently, so I'm not sure how robust it is -- but it could be well worth a try.
- Emacs - my editor of choice, but probably not ideal for most students in the class
- Integrated Development Environments - more powerful programming environments. Unnecessary for this class, but worth mentioning.
- Eclipse - has continually improving support for Scala
- IntelliJ IDEA - apparently works well with Scala out of the box
