About Scala News

Hi Everyone and Welcome to Scala's latest resource to keep up with the news of what's happening around the Scala community.

Why Did I create this

There where multiple reasons, some of which where as follows:

• I want to see more people write more long form blogs and articles, so this is my bit to help your writings to be discovered. I have even added a page to serve as a blog directory with a link to a bloggers website and rss feed. Let's bring back the google reader days all and write more blogs and spend less time on social media :-)
• I wanted an excuse to use Laika via sbt-typelevel to see what it's like.
• As a bonus, I wanted a resource to get a list of links to latest information that is not on medium or behind a pay wall.

Will this site be successful?

• I need everyone in the community to write blogs, have their blog support rss and add themselves to our bloggers directory.
• Hopefully with time everyone will be using their preferred rss reader to follow the bloggers they like and there won't be any need for this site so that its success is measured by it being archived as not needed or just being there to serve as a directory of Scala bloggers to follow using rss.

How do I add my Blog to the Blog Directory?

See README for details.

How Do I add a link to be included in the next edition?

Just add your blog to our blog directory. All editions of Scala News are autogenerated using the RSS feeds of all bloggers listed in our directory.

What kind of links will be published?

Posts about Scala and its ecosystem from the bloggers in our directory that help you learn and stay in touch. Posts that only announce a new version of a library or tool are left out, but a post that digs into what a release changes is included.

Its hard work writing a book, so I am happy to include links to Scala related books by their authors and any discount they want offer our readers.

We don't accept sales or recruitment oriented posts: posts that mainly promote a company, a paid product or service (including paid training and workshops), or advertise jobs and hiring are left out. Blogs that mainly publish such posts won't be added to the Bloggers directory. Posts by people who work for a company are welcome when they share knowledge, experience or opinion.
