What you'll learn

• Concurrent Java programming using the Actor Framework
• How the Actor Model works and can be used as a better alternatives to Thread creation
• How to use the core Akka libraries to build robust, thread-safe, concurrent applications

Requirements

• Basic Java knowledge
• Some existing Java multi-threading programming is helpful but not essential
• No knowledge of Akka or Scala is needed

Description

This course will cover how to use the Actor Model provided by the Akka framework to build robust, thread-safe concurrent applications with Java.

Instead of creating threads, worrying about thread-safe variables, using synchronization and locks, learn how the actor model gives us a completely different way to approach concurrent programming.

The course is full of practical real-world scenarios - you'll even build a basic blockchain mining application.

Please note that although Akka is built in Scala, no Scala knowledge is needed for this course - the course covers Akka with Java and we won't be writing any Scala code.

This course covers the newer Akka Typed API only.

Who this course is for:

• Novice and experienced Java developers who need to enhance their concurrent programming skills.
