Presentation Overview:

Play is a modern JVM web application framework that is lightweight, stateless and built from start for asynchronous programming.
It is based on event-driven, non-blocking IO and provides type safety, even for templates and routes.

The first part of the presentation will be an introduction to the framework and overview of its core concepts and features.
Then In the second part the plan is to build and deploy a simple but real-world Play web application.

Play exposes Java and Scala API, but in this talk only Java will be used.
