Fast Track to Akka with Scala

Escalate Software Principals, Bill Venners and Dick Wall, will teach the Fast Track to Akka with Scala course created by Typesafe, Inc.

This two-day course introduces experienced application developers to the reactive Akka toolkit and runtime and the methodologies that enable the creation of real-world actor-based systems in Scala on a single JVM. This course has extensive hands-on work and successive exercises build upon prior lessons learned to produce a fully functional application that is both event-driven and resilient by the conclusion of the course.

Prerequisites: Code examples and exercises will be written in Scala, so a basic knowledge of Scala as covered in either the "Stairway To Scala Applied" or "Fast Track to Scala" courses is required. Students should bring their own laptop with Java 6 or higher installed.

By attending this course, you will:

• Know how to design scalable, fault-tolerant concurrent applications using Akka's actors
• Know how to test, tune, and configure Akka applications
• Know best practices for designing asynchronous, event-driven systems using Akka
• Be confident to start using Akka in production systems
