The document discusses the features and advantages of using sbt, a build tool for Scala, highlighting its simplicity and ease of use compared to other tools like Maven and Ant. It explains how to create projects, add custom tasks, manage plugins, and develop reusable assets. Additionally, it encourages users to contribute to open-source by showcasing their plugins on platforms like GitHub Pages.

1. sbt : an incredible machine @remeniuk

2. ant mechanical transmission went out of fashion

3. maven try my gold hammer

4. sbt a perfect illustration to "Simple made Easy" by Rich Hickey

5. build tools comparison checklist: create a project from scratch add custom tasks to the build script control and modify 3rd party plugins create reusable assets(plugins)

6. two things that make sbt easier giter8 plugins create a project from scratch

7. giter8 ~= maven archetypes > g8 --list > g8 organization/template create a project from scratch

8. giter8 > maven archetypes you can make project templates not only for sbt* *it works for ant , maven and others build tools, as well create a project from scratch

9. sbt plugin is not a blackbox! Project("plugins", file(".")) .dependsOn(uri("http://github.com/org/plgn")) ..., so go, and customize it! control and modify 3rd party plugins

10. got tired of shell/python/ruby- script chaos ? dozens of various, small scripts here an there...

11. > console-project makes it easy sbt can be a great home for project related scripts with tasks and settings it's done simple add custom tasks to the build script

12. making plugins yes you can ! create reusable assets(plugins)

13. start being an opensource committer today! github pages for publishing artifacts implicit.ly for letting others know about your wonderful plugin create reusable assets(plugins)

14. thank you.
