Duse XVIII - Core Play 2.0

Hi Scala enthousiasts,

I’m very pleased to announce DUSE meetup #18. Erik Bakker, co-author of the book Play for Scala, will reveal us some of the core internals of Play 2.0. His presentation is followed by a hands-on hacking session were you get the chance to transform his ‘revelations’ into working code.

One of Play’s distinguishing features is its reactive architecture that leverages the non-blocking and event-driven programming model as well as its scalability characteristics. Erik will introduce us to Play’s reactive programming model and show us how to use iteratees en enumerators combined with websockets. He will elaborate on the scalability features of Play such as its seamless integration with Akka, as well as on other advanced building blocks that make Play such an outstanding web framework.

Program

Cheers Urs
