Building the Dojo

The training seems to start with building the environment, creating the tools, getting the bare necessities in order.  Not as a precursor to training but as the act of initiation itself.

Scala, Akka, SBT, Google App Engine, eclipse, Scala IDE, sbt-eclipse, sbt-appengine, DataNucleus JDO, cars to wax, a fence to paint, floors to sand, flies to catch with chopsticks...perhaps there's even enough left of the handyman/drunken master in there somewhere to pull it all off.
