Learn how to develop Java web applications using the Play framework. Build reactive web apps for todays Internet!

The Play Framework is quite literally taking the world by storm, and this course is designed to teach you how to get the most out of it using Java.

Traditionally Java has offered an extremely powerful web developers environment. However, learning Java web development has been very difficult, due to its very complicated design and the complexities of the Java enterprise software.

The Play framework on the other hand, is designed with developers productivity first and foremost, and offers an extremely rapid development environment for the development of web applications, similar to other web frameworks like Ruby on Rails or Django.

Whilst those other environments are great for getting applications developed quickly, they often run into problems with scalability and speed.
