Scala School is a set of lessons on the Scala programming language, originally created and used by Twitter to teach Scala to its engineers. The lessons are published as a website at twitter.github.io/scala_school and cover the fundamentals of the language for people who want to learn it from the ground up. The repository contains the source files for that website. The lessons are written in a text-based markup format and turned into HTML pages using Jekyll, a tool that generates static websites from text files. The README covers only the technical side of building and publishing the site: how to install the required tools (Jekyll and RedCloth, both Ruby libraries), how to build the lesson pages locally, and how to run a local web server on port 4000 so you can preview changes as you make them. The README does not describe the lesson content itself, so it is not clear from the source file alone which specific Scala topics are covered or at what depth. Based on the project description, the scope is fundamentals, meaning the lessons are likely aimed at people who are new to Scala rather than experienced Scala developers. The published site is where the actual learning content lives. The project is maintained by Twitter and is publicly available for anyone who wants to study Scala or adapt the lessons for their own teaching purposes.
