Scala Notebook

==============

A more friendly, browser-based interactive Scala prompt (REPL).

Based on the IPython notebook project, this project will let you interact with Scala in a browser window, which has the following advantages over the standard REPL:

* Easy to view and edit past commands

* Commands can return HTML or images, allowing richer interactivity (charts, for example)

* Notebooks can be saved and loaded, providing a bridge between interactive REPL and classes in a project

* Supports mixing Scala expressions and markdown, letting you create rich, interactive documents similar to Mathematica

While I think this tool will be helpful for everyone using Scala, I expect it to be particularly valuable for the scientific and analytics community.

Using Scala Notebook

### IDE Setup

* If you're using an IntelliJ project, note that by default IntelliJ will not include SSP files resources. Change settings in IntelliJ to to include '*' as resource extension.

### Overview

Having the web server process separate from the process doing the evaluation is also important in Scala; we want to separate

the user's actions from the web server, allowing a restart of the client process (after building new client libraries, for example).

To that end, the project is organized as follows:

* *server* is the web server

* *common* are the classes shared by both

* *observable* 

* *kernel*

* *subprocess*

### Architecture

* Server

* Kernel(s)
