Slick - The Structured Way

1,804 views

Published on

Slick (part of the Typesafe stack) is a modern database query and access library for Scala, based on functional principles. It allows you to write queries as if you are working with regular Scala collections.

In this presentation we’ll have a deep dive into how you can use this library in real projects. How to map your tables and queries to structured objects, how to create more advanced queries with multiple joins, how to setup integration tests against an in-memory database and how you can integrate Slick with the Play Framework are all questions which will have been answered at the end of this presentation.

Originally presented on the BeScala user group.
