Prerequisites :

You need to bring a laptop with Play distribution as a zip (2.2.1) and Scala enabled IDE. IntelliJ has great support for Play 2, for eclipse users it's the best to download ScalaIDE from http://scala-ide.org/... (http://scala-ide.org/download/sdk.html)­

Git installed on the laptop, and you know how to clone a project from GitHub and switch branches (a MUST for the workshop).

PLEASE NOTE!

The first session does not require previous Scala knowledge, but the second one requires familiarity with basic Scala syntax and standard libraries. At least read this short book: http://typesafe.com/resources/book/scala-for-the-impatient
