Building Applications with Scala

Overview of this book

<p>Scala is known for incorporating both object-oriented and functional programming into a concise and extremely powerful package. However, creating an app in Scala can get a little tricky because of the complexity the language has. This book will help you dive straight into app development by creating a real, reactive, and functional application. We will provide you with practical examples and instructions using a hands-on approach that will give you a firm grounding in reactive functional principles.</p> <p>The book will take you through all the fundamentals of app development within Scala as you build an application piece by piece. We’ve made sure to incorporate everything you need from setting up to building reports and scaling architecture. This book also covers the most useful tools available in the Scala ecosystem, such as Slick, Play, and Akka, and a whole lot more. It will help you unlock the secrets of building your own up-to-date Scala application while maximizing performance and scalability.</p>

Preface

Chapter 2. Creating Your App Architecture and Bootstrapping with SBT

In the previous chapter, we learned about Functional Programing and Scala. This chapter will be focused on Simple Build Tool (SBT) and Activator in order to Bootstrap complex Scala and Play framework projects. Using SBT and Activator, we can perform several development tasks such as building, running tests, and deploying the application (which will be covered in detail in Chapter 10, Scaling Up). Let's get started.

In this chapter, we will see the following topics:

  • SBT basics--installation, structure, and dependencies

  • Activator basics--creating projects

  • Overall architecture of our application
