2014-06 Play! Framework 2
Channel: Toronto Java Users Group
Date: 27/06/2014

The main presentation starts at 8:10.

In the past few years, the Java ecosystem has seen the rise of a few frameworks that compete with (or complement) the established enterprise Java development model. Whether you see them as the next best thing, or a source of fresh ideas, getting familiar with what they have to offer is an important part of understanding the challenges and trends in the modern enterprise Java world. One of the most popular of these frameworks  is Play!, which provides Scala and also Java developers with a highly productive and highly scalable web application development environment.

In this presentation, Marius Bogoevici will give you a hands-on-tour of the Play! Framework, in which we will build together an Play!-based application, showing you how:

- to create and set up a project
- build controllers and web pages (with a focus on Play!'s pretty cool Scala template system)
- integrate with a relational database
- integrate with a NoSQL database (i.e. MongoDB)
- secure your application
- build a REST/JSON set of web services to integrate with an HTML5/REST architecture
- write unit and integration tests
... and time provided, as many more details as we can fit in!
