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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlay is a Scala web framework with built-in advantages: Scala's strong type system helps deliver bug-free code, and the Akka framework helps achieve hassle-free concurrency and peak performance. Play builds on the web's stateless nature for excellent scalability, and because it is event-based and nonblocking, you'll find it to be great for near real-time applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlay for Scala\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you to build Scala-based web applications using Play 2.
