In this course, we?will learn how to write concurrent and resilient applications using Akka actors.?You’ll write 2000+?lines of Akka code?yourself, with guidance,?and you will become a rockstar.

This course is for Scala programmers who need to design?complex and scalable concurrent applications.

Why?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’s?incredibly fun?– once tasted Akka, you’ll never want to get back to threads

I like to get to the point and get things done.?This course?

1. deconstructs?all concepts?into the critical pieces you need

2. selects?the most important ideas?and separates them into what’s simple but?critical and what’s powerful

3. sequences?ideas in a way that “clicks” and makes sense throughout the process of learning

4. applies?everything?in live code

The end benefits are still much greater:

a completely new mental model around parallel applications

significantly more marketable resume

more enjoyable work?– Akka is fun!

This course is for?established programmers?with experience with Scala?and?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, but?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.

I?believe both theory?and?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 –?when they’re guided, but not being told what to do. I have exercises waiting for you, where I offer my (opinionated)?guidance but otherwise?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!
