About This Book

Authors' Note: This book covers Play 2.3, which is two of versions out of date. The majority of the content is applicable to Play 2.5. However, the book does not cover dependency injection, and its coverage of JSON handling is slightly out of date.

Essential Play is a fast paced, no-nonsense introduction to the Play Web Framework for Scala. This concise introduction explains the concepts you need to know, and shows you how to use them.

This is the text book used on the course of the same name, which gets development teams up and productive with the latest Play 2.x series. It is aimed at the beginner-to-intermediate Scala developers, and assumes no prior knowledge of Play.

Whether you're building a REST API, or a reactive web app, this book will lead you through the steps to build your application.
