a question (not about the framework, but about the linked webpage) - this awesome effect where i scroll down and the pictures (next to the "Developer friendly" headline) "fold up", is there an animation-lib that does this? how is it called? it's awesome, i want it.

Ask @iamwarry on Twitter - Maxime Dantec did the site design. Talented fellow.

Does anyone know a good Django/Play comparison or Rails/Play comparison? Or a tutorial along the lines of "Play for Rails developers" or "Play for Django developers"? I'm learning Scala and I want to play with it for webdev, but I know how much "hidden effort" is in learning any framework so i's really love something like this...

I'm also an Django developer and did a play application some time back[0], so maybe I can give some insight on development with Play!. My background in functional program was non-existent at the time so going in I was already going to have problems. I choose to create my project as Scala project since I wanted to learn the tech. While Scala can be done with normal OOP/procedure programming I wanted to have the full a…

You should make this a blog post and submit it.

Why did they decide to use static methods for the controllers?

Stated by Guillaume Bort here[1] Play uses static methods only when it makes sense: - in the controller layer, because controllers are not object oriented. Controllers act as mapper between the HTTP world (that is stateless, and request/response based) and the Model layer that is fully object oriented. [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5192904/play-framework-us...

It only 'makes sense' on a theoretical basis. On a practical basis, unit testing tons of static methods is a nightmare.
