In this book, you will learn how to build Web applications with Play Framework, access databases with ScalikeJDBC, perform asynchronous tasks with Scala Futures and Akka Actors, wire dependencies with MacWire, authenticate users with BCrypt, test your code with ScalaTest and ScalaMock.

The book shows how to use Gradle and SBT for building projects, how to integrate modern frontend tools such as Webpack and React into a Scala developer workflow. A chapter discussing application deployment and hosting considerations is also included.

The book doesn't expect any prior Scala experience as the basics are briefly explained in the first chapters. The required functional programming concepts are also explained in the beginning.

Who this book is for

This book is intended for people who are interested in learning and applying Scala to writing Web applications. It assumes a good knowledge of any programming language and familiarity with Web technologies.

Which versions are used

The main examples use Scala 2.13 and Play 2.8. When additional libraries are needed, their latest versions are used.
