SBT in Scala (part 2) - Setting up Modules, Organizing Builds, Using Plugins

We learn to create multi-module projects, navigate around them with the SBT console, pass different settings and definitions for each, making them depend on each other. We also learn how to modularize build.sbt with constants and arbitrary Scala code, then we learn how to use plugins and build an application with sbt-assembly.
