Playing with the Play Framework
Saturday - Mar 16 11:00 AM EDT - Essex
The presentation will cover an introduction on the framework by creating a basic web application in both Java and Scala to get you started.
The Play Framework is a lightweight and stateless web framework that is part of the TypeSafe stack, a stack which includes Akka middleware and the Scala programming language. The presentation will cover an introduction on the framework by creating a basic web application in both Java and Scala to get you started. The presentation will also cover javascript library integration and explain the philosophy behind the framework and give an honest analysis on the advantages and disadvantages of the framework. While this presentation is not interactive, all demos will be available on github for those that want to “play” along with their laptops.
