ABSTRACT
Attendees will learn to program using the actor model, the main and key concepts expressed in the Reactive Manifesto and how create such applications with Akka toolkit using Scala programming language. During the day participants will be driven by the teacher through the core Akka features; the workshop will cover theoretical concepts coupling them with step-by-step exercises. At the end of the day students will have enough knowledge to start to code little Akka applications on their own.
