Basic Introduction to Play Framework

I recently gave a talk at Desert Code Camp 2013.2 on an introduction to Play Framework. I’m just getting started with it, but there are several concepts that got me interested:

• Non-blocking / Evented vs. Threaded
• Command-line interface to compile, test, and more
• Clearly inspired by the productivity Ruby on Rails, but written for Java
• Written using a Functional Programming paradigm
• Super-easy for creating RESTful web services

The devil’s always in the details, of course, but it’s been a blast so far! More to come on Play…
