This is exactly what I was looking for! I started looking at Scala over the weekend and found the existing beginner-oriented documentation to be pretty lacking. I also signed up for the course.

The Neophyte's Guide to Scala is the best language intro I've read.

No other platform I'm aware of has anything like Typesafe Activator, which is an awesome learning/tutorial resource.

There's also Scala Koans out there somewhere I found helpful to practice with.

Let me know how you get on with the material. We're very keen to find out how it works in practice.
