Open Source Scala Education Software

The fpinscala repository provides exercises, hints, and solutions for the book Functional Programming in Scala, serving as a companion resource for anyone studying the text. It is designed to guide learners through each chapter of the book by offering exercise stubs, partial implementations, and progressively developed code examples. As readers work through the book, they can complete exercises directly in the provided Scala files, building a library of functional programming constructs along the way. For those who need guidance, the repository includes hints and fully worked answers, with explanations and variations to deepen understanding. The project covers both the first and second editions of the book, with separate branches to match the edition being studied. By combining the book with this repository, learners can gain hands-on practice and immediate feedback, making the experience akin to having a personal tutor in functional programming.

An application for managing your (e)Book collection.

The aim of this project is to create programs which turn off the computer after a certain time is exceeded within one day. The final goal is to avoid that small children spend too much time in front of the computer.

DBpedia has moved to GitHub: https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework/wiki The mailing lists are still hosted by SourceForge. DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia and to link other datasets on the Web to Wikipedia data.

GeckoCIRCUITS is THE circuit simulator for modeling power electronics systems. Besides its fast circuit simulation capability, GeckoCIRCUITS combines control modelling and thermal simulations via equivalent networks in an easy-to-use software package. GeckoCIRCUITS has its strengths in the extremely high simulation speed and its open interface. The software can be integrated into MATLAB/Simulink or other programming environments.

Inhaler is a speed reading tool programmed in scala using swing. It features variable reading speed and font size. It is licensed under GPL.

A web application that helps students learn Java. Students can submit their solutions to programming exercises and get immediate feedback through automated tests. The application is built with Scala and Lift.

Scala Exercises is an open source platform for learning Scala through interactive exercises and tutorials. It provides a hands-on learning environment where users can read theory and immediately code (in the browser) and see results. The content covers Scala language features, functional programming libraries (cats, scalaz, etc.), and fp-style patterns. It is modular, so additional modules or “sections” can be added for new topics or libraries. The aim is to reduce the friction in learning Scala by integrating documentation, examples, and live code execution in a unified environment. It also serves as a community-driven repository: contributors can author and maintain exercises, and learners can see evolving content aligned with the Scala ecosystem’s changes.

Simuquant is made to construct and simulate universal quantum circuits. It's GUI enables intuitive access and direct graphical feedback, making it useful in a classroom situation and the like. Simulation processing is done in parallel, utilizing parallel collections introduced in scala 2.9. This application has been created as part a bachelor-thesis at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. The thesis is available at: http://opus.haw-hamburg.de/volltexte/2012/1843/pdf/ba_dahl.pdf Future plans: - Operator grouping (enables repeated blocks) - Editable library
