Developing Reactive Apps with Play Framework and Akka Using Java

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.
