Course Description and Objectives

This two-day course covers what you need to build web applications with Play and Scala. It also introduces Slick, a typesafe and modern database query and access library for Scala. The course centers around a web application that you will build from ground up using Play. Therefore it is necessary to bring your notebook with Java 6 or higher installed. Code examples and exercises will be written in Scala, so previous experience with Scala is required. Experience with HTML and JavaScript is also a prerequisite.

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
