Developing Reactive Apps with Play Framework and Akka Using Java

Sunday - Sep 14 2:15 PM EDT - Jefferson/Washington

Learn Reactive Development with the Play Framework and Akka. Typesafe's core flagship products Play and Akka brought together in a workshop that employs actors, web sockets, and fault tolerance and routing.

This workshop defines what Reactive applications are as we create a sample application in Java using the Typesafe Activator, the Play Framework, Web Sockets, and tie it all in with Akka for concurrency and fault tolerance. No need for Scala knowledge in this workshop, just bring your pre-existing Java knowledge and we will go from there.

Workshop Requirements

This session is a workshop. Please come prepared.

Play Framework and Akka Workshop requires that you have JDK 1.7.0 or higher. Although having the latest and greatest JDK would be preferred, c'mon load 8!

One of the things that I ask are that the following commands work on your command line:

javac -version
java -version

If these do not render a version, please fix your JAVA_HOME environment variable and your PATH.

All be sure to have your favorite IDE installed with all updates loaded before attendance

We will also try our best to include a pre-resolved (with all dependencies downloaded) play framework and akka on some memory sticks, or set up a private network will all requirements before your arrival in case the Internet at the venue will be less co-operative.
