compiling

You can compile the exercises with one of:

$ ./sbt exercise1/compile
$ ./sbt exercise2/compile
$ ./sbt exercise3/compile
$ ./sbt exercise4/compile
$ ./sbt exercise5/compile

building

To build the slides for the course you'll need pandoc. Get it from your package manager.

Once you have it:

$ make all

This will generate PDFs with the presentations in the /slides folder.
