Building Applications with Scala

Overview of this book

<p>Scala is known for incorporating both object-oriented and functional programming into a concise and extremely powerful package. However, creating an app in Scala can get a little tricky because of the complexity the language has. This book will help you dive straight into app development by creating a real, reactive, and functional application. We will provide you with practical examples and instructions using a hands-on approach that will give you a firm grounding in reactive functional principles.</p> <p>The book will take you through all the fundamentals of app development within Scala as you build an application piece by piece. We’ve made sure to incorporate everything you need from setting up to building reports and scaling architecture. This book also covers the most useful tools available in the Scala ecosystem, such as Slick, Play, and Akka, and a whole lot more. It will help you unlock the secrets of building your own up-to-date Scala application while maximizing performance and scalability.</p>

Preface

Summary


In this chapter, you learned how to create controllers, models, services, views (using Twirl templating), Guice injections, and routing. We covered the principles of Scala Web Development using the Play framework. By the end of the chapter, we got the application with the Play framework up and running.

In the next chapter, we will learn more about services. As you may realize, we did some simple services in this chapter for products, reviews, and images, but now we will continue working with services.
