Course Description

In this course, wewill learn how to write concurrent and resilient applications using Akka actors.
You'll write 2000+lines of Akka codeyourself, with guidance,and you will become a rockstar.
This course is for Scala programmers who need to designcomplex and scalable concurrent applications.
WhyAkka:
it speeds up the development of concurrent applications by as much as 10xits demand has explodedit's a highly marketable skillit'sincredibly fun- once tasted Akka, you'll never want to get back to threadsI like to get to the point and get things done.
This course deconstructsall conceptsinto the critical pieces you needselectsthe most important ideasand separates them into what's simple butcritical and what's powerfulsequencesideas in a way that "clicks" and makes sense throughout the process of learningapplieseverythingin live codeThe end benefits are still much greater:
a completely new mental model around parallel applicationssignificantly more marketable resumemore enjoyable work- Akka is fun!
This course is forestablished programmerswith experience with Scalaandwith 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 ifyou've never written Scala code beforeyou've never worked with threadsThe course is comprehensive, butyou'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.
Ibelieve both theoryandpractice 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 otherwisefreedom 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 systemsdevelopers looking to get into the field of fast data

Time: 13h

I'm a software engineer with a passion forteaching. Big fan of Scala and the JVM.
I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science and Iwrote my Bachelorand Mastertheses on Quantum Computation. Before starting to learn programming, I won medals at international Physics competitions.
For 7+ years, I've taught a variety of Computer Science topics to 30000+ of students at various levels. I've heldHourof 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 soexcited to share what I know with a wider community online.

Good One!!!

Very comprehensive coverage of the subject.

By Felipe Oliveira Gutierrez on 10/1/2020

the course is great! It takes you from nothing to a very solid stage of Akka skills, of course only the essential as the name of the course states. But now I am able to think in the way that Akka design distributes systems to not be trapped by its cornerstones. I mean, implementing fault-tolerant and concurrent applications. You get more confidence if you try to implement the exercises by yourself and you see the difficult, but you get help to not let it undone in the end. I want to take the next course!

So much code and exercises, so after learn i can fully understood
about Akka. Thank so much Daniel...

So far it has been a perfect match for my needs (and expectations).

Simply Amazing. Lightbend courses are nothing compared to this. The topics become so much easier and fun to learn and you really get pulled into it with the way daniel goes about explaining things. Great Job Daniel.
