This two-day course introduces experienced web-developers to the design-patterns and methodology essential to building reactive, scalable web applications with Play Framework and Scala. An introduction to Slick, a type-safe and modern database query and access library for Scala is also part of agenda. In this course, successive exercises build upon prior lessons learned to produce a fully functional application by the conclusion of the course.
Prerequisites: Code examples and exercises will be written in Scala, so a basic knowledge of Scala as covered in the ”Fast Track to Scala” course is required, as is experience with HTML and JavaScript. Students should bring their own laptop with Java 6 or higher installed.
After having participated in this course you should
- know how to build fully fledged web applications using Play
- know best practices for developing web applications using Play
- be confident to start using Scala and Play applications in production
