Scala for Java programmers, the Euler way - ep. 01 (1 of 3)

This is for Java programmers who want to get a practical introduction to Scala. I assume basic knowledge about Scala, namely that it has some similarities to Java and produces standard JVM bytecode. In this series of tutorials, I will show you some Scala basics by walking you through a few Project Euler problems.

The first part is rather long and therefore split into three videos. I expect the next parts to be shorter.

Note that starting in Scala 2.8.1 I believe, you can also extend the App trait, negating the need for the main method completely. Just a small nicety, but I like your approach as it is an easier stepping stone for Java developers who are used to main methods.

Great series. I learned a lot. Btw. what color scheme are you using for IntelliJ IDEA and where can I download it?
