My friend [Ryan Knight][1] and I co-authored an article which has just been published on Artima: [Getting Started with Play 2, Scala, and Squeryl][2]. This article will help you get started building a Play 2 application from scratch that uses Scala and [Squeryl][3] for ORM. The article also covers how use [ScalaTest][4], [JSON][5], [jQuery][6], [CoffeeScript][7], and deployment on [Heroku][8]. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
