Play Framework

The Play Framework is a revolutionary way to build web applications in Java, taking away all the pain of the bloated J2EE approach to Java Web Apps. It is fast, simple and very very powerful.
I have been so impressed with it, I have written a book and a few blogs about it. Plus this site is powered by Play!
Is It My Go

My latest project, which is still work in progress, aims to bring popular Euro boardgames online, using pure Web technology, that do not have to be completed in a single sitting.
By using Play!, HTML, AJAX and a database on the server to save the game state, players can play a game over several hours, days or weeks. And can even play more than one game at a time.
