Description

Learn the classic Akka actor model with Scala and write parallel, concurrent and fault-tolerant systems

What You'll Learn?

create concurrent applications with actors instead of threads and locks
design fault-tolerant systems with supervision
configure Akka for various scenarios
confidently test actor systems
use Akka patterns and best practices

Who is this for?

Scala developers who need to design complex distributed systems

developers looking to get into the field of fast data

What You Need to Know?

solid general programming experience

a good understanding of multithreading

a solid command of the Scala language

More details

Description
In this course, weÂ will learn how to write concurrent and resilient applications using Akka actors.Â You'll write 2000+Â lines of Akka codeÂ yourself, with guidance,Â and you will become a rockstar.
This course is for Scala programmers who need to designÂ complex and scalable concurrent applications.
WhyÂ Akka:
it speeds up the development of concurrent applications by as much as 10x
its demand has exploded
it's a highly marketable skill
it'sÂ incredibly funÂ - once tasted Akka, you'll never want to get back to threads
I like to get to the point and get things done.Â This courseÂ
deconstructsÂ all conceptsÂ into the critical pieces you need
selectsÂ the most important ideasÂ and separates them into what's simple butÂ critical and what's powerful
sequencesÂ ideas in a way that "clicks" and makes sense throughout the process of learning
appliesÂ everythingÂ in live code
The end benefits are still much greater:
a completely new mental model around parallel applications
significantly more marketable resume
more enjoyable workÂ - Akka is fun!
This course is forÂ established programmersÂ with experience with ScalaÂ andÂ with functional programming at the level of the Rock the JVM Scala beginners course. I already assume a solid understanding of general programming fundamentals.
This course is NOT for you if
you've never written Scala code before
you've never worked with threads
The course is comprehensive, butÂ you'll always see me get straight to the point. So make sure you have a good level of focus and commitment to become a badass programmer.
IÂ believe both theoryÂ andÂ practice are important. That's why you'll get lectures with code examples, real life code demos and assignments, plus additional resources, instructions, exercises and solutions. At the end of the course, you'll have written thousands of lines of Akka.
I've seen that my students are most successful - and my best students work at Google-class companies -Â when they're guided, but not being told what to do. I have exercises waiting for you, where I offer my (opinionated)Â guidance but otherwiseÂ freedom to experiment and improve upon your code.
Definitely not least, my students are most successful when they have fun along the way!
So join me in this course and let's rock the JVM!
Who this course is for:
Scala developers who need to design complex distributed systems
developers looking to get into the field of fast data

Instructor's Courses

I'm a software engineer with a passion for teaching. Big fan of Scala and the JVM.I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science and I wrote my Bachelor and Master theses on Quantum Computation. Before starting to learn programming, I won medals at international Physics competitions.For 8+ years, I've taught a variety of Computer Science topics to 100000+ of students at various levels. I've held Hour of Code for 7 year-olds, I've taught university students who now work at Google and Facebook, I've held live trainings for software engineering teams at Adobe and Apple, and I'm now so excited to share what I know with a wider community online.
