I would recommend starting with SBT templates, and I second the recommendation of Scala for the Impatient.

We began working with Scala very slowly, only using it for small internal projects until we were more familiar with the language and stack.

We also avoided heading too deep into category theory territory in the beginning. Libraries like Cats and Scalaz are not allowed (currently).
