DESCRIPTION
Scala has established itself as a viable alternative to Java, and powerful new tools make it easier than ever to get started. Play! 2 is an open source web framework for building browser-based applications in Scala. It takes advantage of Scala's strong type system to give you high-performance, bug-free code. Because it's event-based and non-blocking, it's a great choice for near real time applications. And it makes use of the web's stateless nature to offer excellent scalability and flexibility.
Play for Scala shows you how to build Scala-based web applications using the Play! 2 framework. This book starts by introducing Play! through a comprehensive overview example. Then, you'll look at each facet of a typical Play! application both by exploring simple code snippets and by adding to a larger running example. Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of Scala as a programming language and work with tools like Akka and SBT.
