Welcome to the second blog of 52-technologies-in-2016 blog series. From last year, I have started using Scala as my main programming language. One of the tools that you have to get used to while working with a programming language is a build tool. In my office projects, we use Gradle for all our projects be it Scala or Java. In most of my personal Scala projects, I have started using sbt as my preferred build tool. sbt is a general purpose build tool written in Scala. Most of the time we try to hack our way while using a build tool never learning it properly. As Scala will be the language that I will cover most in this series, I decided to thoroughly learn sbt this week. We(developers) often underestimate the importance of learning a build tool thoroughly and end up not using build tool in the most effective way. Good working knowledge of a build tool can make us more productive so we should take it seriously.

I wrote a post about some interesting compilation flags that can be enabled on SBT to make the compiler check some errors for us. I think it can be useful as a complement for people reading this. Any feedback is welcome 🙂 http://pedrorijo.com/blog/scala-compiler-review-code-warnings/
