A Web-Based System for Executing Interactive Scala Programming Exercises in Browser
Aalto University School of Science Master's Programme in Information Networks Anastasia Lipiäinen A Web-Based System for Executing Interactive Scala Programming Exercises in Browser Master's Thesis Espoo, November 27, 2016 Supervisor: Professor Lauri Malmi Advisors: Otto SeppäläD.Sc. (Tech) Juha Sorva D.Sc. (Tech) Aalto University School of Science ABSTRACT OF Master's Programme in Information Networks MASTER'S THESIS Author: Anastasia Lipiäinen Title: A Web-Based System for Executing Interactive Scala Program- ming Exercises in Browser Date: November 27, 2016 Pages: vii + 120 Major: Information Networks Code: SCI3047 Supervisor: Professor Lauri Malmi Advisors: Otto SeppäläD.Sc. (Tech), Juha Sorva D.Sc. (Tech) When first introduced to programming, students are often assigned to write mere code snippets that only produce a numerical output with the help of a simple control structure. The students are left unimpressed as they fail to see the real utility that learning to program holds. By assigning students real-world programming problems, such as games and media computation exercises, we showcase real applications for programming. At the beginning of their first programming course, students are already used to working with modern, interactive, and visually impressive interfaces. However, they cannot be expected to produce the graphical user interfaces required to take the full advantage of media content. Previously, we have distributed interfaces implemented with Swing as program code for local execution; the practise does not allow the easy updating of assignment related code and achieving a usable interface is tiresome with the use of Swing. To address the issues of the current process, we developed a web-based system that allows the execution of interactive Scala programs in a browser.

Introducing Scalatra by Ivan Porto Carrero, Ross A
1 Introducing Scalatra By Ivan Porto Carrero, Ross A. Baker, Dave Hrycyszyn, Stefan Ollinger, and Jared Armstrong, authors of Scalatra in Action Scalatra is an HTTP micro-framework, written in the up-and-coming new language, Scala. Scalatra is used by LinkedIn, the BBC, the Guardian newspaper, games website IGN, social identity provider JanRain, the Wordnik online dictionary, and the British government’s new flagship website. It’s fast, battle-tested, and in production. This article introduces you to the simplicity of Scalatra micro-framework. Add a small configuration file, download, and run one command, and you’ve got a running web application. There’s a lot more to Scalatra, but the following simple code expresses its essence. You define a route, which is a combination of an HTTP verb (get), and a URL route matcher (/hello), which executes a block of code on the server and returns the result (in this case, the string Hello world!). Listing 1 Scalatra in Action package com.example.yourapp import org.scalatra._ class HelloWorld extends ScalatraFilter { get(“/hello”) { “Hello there!” } } If you put this code up on http://yourwebsite.org, you could type http://yourwebsite.org/hello into your browser and see the text “Hello world!” in return. And yet...it’s so small. What do all of these big organizations see in it? The interesting thing is, there isn’t a single answer to that question because Scalatra is a micro-framework. Micro-frameworks vs. full-stack frameworks A micro-framework is a very small framework or way of organizing your code, with only minimal helper functions built in.

Its focus on immutability, as well as associated libraries such as Akka, lower the concep tual burdens of concurrency management by making it easier to reason about your code. Why is this important? Most other languages still rely on old-style concurrency management tools like locks and threads, which can be extremely difficult to use because they are non deterministic. That is, you can’t necessarily reproduce your threading bugs when you want, because they can be the result of multiple threads interacting in strange and horrifying ways. Older concurrency models were designed in an age of non-networked, single- core microcomputers, when building distributed systems was the exception rather than the norm. We now live in a very different world.
