SBT 0.10 tutorial

Question

I'm very interested in Scala and have a great book on it, but I can't find any good tutorials on how to use SBT and their github page isn't very intuitive for people new to it. Any ideas?

Answer 1

A quick Google search found these results, in addition the GitHub page you mentioned:

• Getting started with Scala using SBT
• Using SBT on your Scala Maven project for continous testing
• Building Android apps in Scala with sbt
• an unofficial guide to sbt 0.10

Some may not be relevant depending on the situation you're using it in, but I figured I'd link them anyway just in case.

Answer 2

I think this presentation from NY scala enthusiasts meetup could be good start. Actually, it is more overview than manual.

Inside:

• Demo
• The theory
• Quick Configuration DSL
• How to port a plugin
• Project dependencies

(Use <- and -> to browse through the slides).

Answer 3

Since 2011, you now (Dec. 2016) also have Essential SBT from William Narmontas.

The aim of this is to show you how SBT can be simple to get started with, and how to get production level iterations going.
We don't aim to build a strong understanding of SBT - there are plenty of other materials online for this.

That tutorial comes with its own video too.
