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!
Again, there will be Pizza and Beer!
