Error handling in Scala

Error Handling in Scala

Scala does not have checked exceptions like Java, so you can't do soemthing like this to force a programmer to deal with an exception:

public void stringToInt(String str) throws NumberFormatException {
  Integer.parseInt(str)
}

Nutch 2.3 + ElasticSearch 1.4 + HBase 0.94 Setup

Info

This guide sets up a non-clustered Nutch crawler, which stores its data via HBase. We will not learn how to setup Hadoop et al., but just the bare minimum to crawl and index websites on a single machine.

Terms

  • Nutch - the crawler (fetches and parses websites)
  • HBase - filesystem storage for Nutch (Hadoop component, basically)

A curated list of AWS resources to prepare for the AWS Certifications


A curated list of AWS resources to prepare for the AWS Certifications

A curated list of awesome AWS resources you need to prepare for the all 5 AWS Certifications. This gist will include: open source repos, blogs & blogposts, ebooks, PDF, whitepapers, video courses, free lecture, slides, sample test and many other resources.


Getting Started in Scala

This is my attempt to give Scala newcomers a quick-and-easy rundown to the prerequisite steps they need to a) try Scala, and b) get a standard project up and running on their machine. I'm not going to talk about the language at all; there are plenty of better resources a google search away. This is just focused on the prerequisite tooling and machine setup. I will not be assuming you have any background in JVM languages. So if you're coming from Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Haskell, or anywhere…  I hope to present the information you need without assuming anything.

Disclaimer It has been over a decade since I was new to Scala, and when I was new to Scala, I was coming from a Java and Ruby background. This has probably caused me to unknowingly make some assumptions. Please feel free to call me out in comments/tweets!

One assumption I'm knowingly making is that you're on a Unix-like platform. Sorry, Windows users.
