Total beginner to programming & Scala, what would you suggest to get them started?

I’m the author of this playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJGDHERh23x-YBJ8LmYU_IGBFflvsKfLu in which I pretty much jump straight into SBT. So far only positive feedback… Honestly as a beginner you barely have to touch SBT. Zero configuration is required in the beginning, you can create .scala files in the root of your project and don’t need to know about src/main/scala and all you need to know is how to compile and run your code. I’ve never met a beginner struggling with SBT. It’s only advanced users who feel the complexity of SBT when they start playing around with the config.
