#reactivemongo

My thesis at Eötvös Loránd University is done.

It's about a success story of learning Scala, Play! framework 2, ReactiveMongo by myself and using these to develop a simple web application with common features like i18n and custom authentication with OpenID integration, in relatively short time.

take a look on these posts:

on Windows: make sure you have ruby DevKit installed properly.

get auto-reconfiguration-0.6.5.jar and play-java-jpa_2.10-2.1.0.jar and place it to the lib folder of application root (create the lib subfolder if needed)

create a new config file, include application.conf and append db conf there:

include "application.conf" mongodb.uri=${?cloud.services.mongodb.connection.url} mongodb.password=${?cloud.services.mongodb.connection.password} mongodb.user=${?cloud.services.mongodb.connection.username}

build the dist package specifying the newly create configuration, the -D option must prepend the name of the dist command.

play -Dconfig.file=conf/dist.cloudfoundry.conf dist

vmc push the app, but don't try to save the configuration. push fails

These are the slides from the talk I gave last week about ReactiveMongo - an Asynchronous and Non-blocking Scala driver for MongoDB.

Although it is a very technical talk, which the slides reflect, much of the detail is delivered along with the presentation and so I am looking forward to when 10gen publish the video as it will make it easier to digest and will also include the questions afterwards.

It was a pleasure to take part and I was especially pleased with all of the positive feedback, where people came up to me hours afterwards even.
