Is it only me? - Where can I get a trusted list of all conferences, meetups, events, and beer-drinking that are relevant to Play, Scala, Akka developpers?

Let’s gather them here - drop a comment and I’ll add your event!

I proudly announce the first release (0.1) of funcy, a library for Page Driven Functional Tests for Play 2.0-Java.

See GitHub for source and docu.

I forgot to add a new file in a git commit (since I did not refresh my eclipse workspace). That caused a little surprise on the next release.

Yup! I just created my first Play 2.0 module! A lot of thanks to Steve for his tips for creating a module and publishing it on github pages.

So finally here is a preliminary release of my PDF module. It helps in generating PDF documents dynamically. You simply create standard Play 2.0 html templates and render them as HTML.

Play 2.0 uses Scala for HTML templates. They are checked at compile-time, so you never again get ghostly errors in production due to unforeseen situations.

But besides that, you can do other great things with ease. Using a practical application of Scala functions for list pagination, for example.

Play 2.0.1 is here! Learn how to upgrade and what to gain.

Have you ever tried to implement search in your web app? Should be easy, eh? And of course you want:

• To search in all text-fields of nearly all entities in your model
• To get suggestions while the user types the query
• To have the query term highlighted in the search results.
• Update the index as the model changes

Since these requirements seem fairly basic, I was surprised how complicated they were to implement and how little documented.

Interesting in fancy tabs, tooltips or overlays? -

After migrating to Play 2.0, being convinced one can use it with Java alone, I was curious enough to take a look at the Scala side of it. Read about some nice little discoverings of a scla beginner.

Our game-changing new app went to heroku for user tests. Currently it is in a closed test phase. (Lean startup enthusiast? - Me too, I’ll love to discuss why we’re doing that). Learn how simple it is to Basic-Auth a whole Play App!
