Preface

The Play Framework is an open source web application framework that is written in Java and Scala. It follows the Model-View-Controller architectural pattern.

It enables the user to use Scala for application development, keeping key properties and features of the Play Framework intact. This results in faster and scalable web apps. Also, it uses a more functional and "Scala idiomatic" style of programming, without sacrificing simplicity and developer friendliness.

This book will provide advanced information on developing Scala web applications using the Play Framework. This will help Scala web developers master Play 2.0 and use it for pro-Scala web app development.
