1. Trying Play! Framework

   04 January 2012

   Over the Christmas break I’ve been trying out Play! Framework using java. I really like it, so much so that I’ve not only written an article, but rewritten my blog to run on play.

   Play is a reasonably new web framework based on the java language. It uses model view controller as a base for structuring your applications, but also has a few other neat tools to break down your code into a few extra layers, to hopefully acheive logic-less templates.

2. Performance: Play Framework vs. CodeIgniter vs. WordPress

   In December 2011 I decided to give Play! Framework a go, and what better place to start than right here on my blog. A totally non mission critical application that I can just have fun with and figure out how play works. I was so impressed with play but I already wrote an article on that.
