A downward spiral
You lose your job. You have trouble paying your bills. Your credit report suffers. Your credit report then gets used by some potential employers as a reason not to hire you.
Don’t believe it happens? The LA Times has a report for you. via Susie Madrak.
Very quick start with Scala on OS X
1. Download and extract directory
2. Move scala install directory under to /usr/local/.
3. Add SCALA_HOME variable to your .bashrc export SCALA_HOME=/usr/local/[SCALA INSTALL DIRECTORY]
4. Add $SCALA_HOME/bin to your path in .bashrc, example: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$SCALA_HOME/bin
5. Get Emacs set up, read Scala, Emacs, and Yasnippet and Stone Tools and Scala Development.
(even easier, check out Bill Venners of Artima’s tips for steps 1-4)
Play, experiment. Maybe write the equivalent of Code To Joy’s myTunes: Groovy and JFugue (“Crazy Train” as the new “Hello World”? Not exactly, but a fun exercise).
