Part 1. Getting started with reactive web applications

This part of the book will get you started with reactive web applications by providing you with the foundation you need to understand the concepts discussed later in the book. You’ll learn how reactive web applications came to be and why they matter, and then you’ll get your hands dirty by building a simple reactive web application. You’ll also get a quick introduction to the concepts behind functional programming as well as to the Play Framework, should you not be familiar with those topics already.
