Hands on Scala Native

This project is a hands-on tutorial that demonstrates how to build a real-time network bandwidth monitor using Scala Native and the Ncurses library. It serves as a practical guide for developers interested in learning Scala Native by porting an existing C application to a functional programming environment.

Key Features

• Ncurses Interface — Provides a terminal-based graphical display for real-time bandwidth visualization.
• Real-time Monitoring — Tracks network interface statistics including current, maximum, average, and minimum bandwidth usage.
• Dual-pane Display — Separates received and transmitted data with individual graphs and statistics.
• Scala Native Implementation — Showcases how to use Scala Native for systems programming, interfacing with C libraries like Ncurses.

Philosophy

The tutorial emphasizes learning by doing, translating a practical C utility into idiomatic Scala Native code to teach low-level systems programming in a functional context.
