 ### Compile it!
 
-The `scalac` command compiles one (or more) Scala source file(s) and generates Java bytecode which can be executed on any [standard JVM](http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/). The Scala compiler works similarly to `javac`, the Java compiler of the [Java SDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html).
