Next Gen Web Apps with Scala, BlueEyes, and MongoDB

Web application architecture is in the midst of a big paradigm shift. Since the inception of the web we’ve been treating the browser like a thin client. Apps just dump markup to the browser which is then rendered. Every interaction requires a request back to the server which then returns more logic-less markup to the browser. In this model our web applications are server applications. There are certainly advantages to this model - especially when the markup consumers don’t have the capabilities to do anything more (or have inconsistent capabilities).
