The Play! framework is more than just yet another web framework in the Scala eco-system: it is also another way of developing web applications. Like RoR, Django, it encourages fast and expressive development, with a clean and pragmatic API. Most importantly, perhaps, it brings simplicity and fun to the Scala world. However, simplicity does not mean being limited to simple web applications. The framework gives you enough power to actually create just anything you can think of: with continuation, web socket support, asynchronous call it is one of the first framework to empower you. We will dive into details on how to use those features and realize that it is actually quite simple... Infinity and beyond are now reachable to Scala Web developers! In this presentation we will briefly see the main framework feature and live code a chat application with the help of HTML5 and websockets, but not any chat: A VIDEO chat room.
