Feed Description: In an effort to realize the "grow together" spirit, the developers of lift have teamed up with other great minds in the Scala community to bring you Scala-Blogs.org. Our mission is to strengthen the community by sharing our experiences and knowledge so that others can learn from our mistakes and triumph along with our successes.
At Scala-Blogs.org you will find tutorials and articles written by a growing host of enthusiasts, each with a different background and area of expertise.
In December, harryh from Foursquare presented the Lift Framework, the most well known and highly used Scala based web framework. Lift is great, but if you're like me then you like a healthy dose of competition. So where are the other Scala based web frameworks? Peter Hausel (@pk11) knows!
Peter will talk about:
The work he's been doing to integrate Scala into The Play Framework - which if you ask me (Dustin), is the best thing to come to Java web development since Grails.
And his very own Pinky, a REST/MVC glue web framework built on top of Guice and Guice Servlet 2.0, which boasts:
* Out of the box support for REST via managed servlets * No learning curve (we are dealing with plain old servlets/filters after all) * akka integration * comet integration * Easy access to Request/Response objects * and a ton of other features!
