Installing Maven on MAC3:33
Install Maven on Mac by downloading the official binary zip, unzip to a folder, update the path in ~/.bash_profile, reveal hidden files if needed, source the profile, and verify installation.
Installing Java on MAC3:13
Install the java jdk on Mac and explore open jdk options like adopt open jdk and SDKMAN, then verify the setup in the terminal with java -version.
Installing IntelliJ on MAC2:28
Install IntelliJ on a Mac by downloading the community edition, running the DMG installer, entering the admin password, and accepting the user agreement to start using IntelliJ for Java development.

Installing Java on Windows4:37
Install Java on Windows, download OpenJDK 11 as a ZIP, extract to C:\Installations, set JAVA_HOME and PATH, and verify the Java version in command prompt.
Installing Maven on Windows2:39
Install Maven on Windows by downloading the binary zip, extracting it to a C drive Installations folder, and updating the PATH via environment variables to verify.
Installing IntelliJ on Windows2:24
Install IntelliJ on Windows by downloading the free community edition from JetBrains (vs Ultimate paid), set Java files to open with IntelliJ, and create a desktop shortcut.

First AKKA Application27:50
We will develop our first AKKA project. This is one of the most important lesson, you will learn how to create actors in Java with a simple application.
Second AKKA Application21:02
We will develop our 2nd AKKA application which is more meaningful. This application will be base for our following lessons.
Routing 1 (Multithreading with AKKA)17:13
Routers are ready to use libraries to make multithread applications with AKKA. You will learn how to create multi-instance (multithread) actors.
Routing 2 (Configuration based alternative)4:52
Router can be created by code, or by config. You will learn about how to create multi-instance actors using the configuration file.
Routing 3 ( Race condition)13:01
Manage race conditions in Akka by routing balance checks through a single payment validation actor while other actors process payments in parallel, guided by a payment validation facade.
Actor Invocation Patterns21:25
You will learn about the actor invocation patterns.
- Tell Pattern (Fire & Forget)
- Ask Pattern (Query response)
AKKA Supervision strategies13:08
You will learn how to handle failures in actors with supervision strategies.
Actor's lifecycle (AKKA Classical)8:27
A detailed look into an AKKA Actor's life cycle from birth to termination
Unit. Testing (AKKA Classical)15:00
You will learn how to unit test akka actors in the system.
Router strategies8:25
Discussion about all the possible out of the box routers and when to use which router.

Introduction to Typed Actors13:46
Typed Actors are the new API. We'll have an introduction to AKKA Typed actors and develop our first application.
Invocation Patterns & Preparation Project21:32
Invocation Patterns with AKKA Typed Actors.
You will also learn the best practice approaches the invocation of the AKKA Typed actors.
Routing & Multithreading with AKKA typed21:16
You will learn making actors multi-instance and developing multithread applications.
You will learn about the different type of routing strategies such as Round Robin, Random routing, Broadcasting and Group actors.
Supervision with AKKA Typed18:49
You will learn about how to handle failures in AKKA typed actors with supervision strategies.
Actor Lifecycle (AKKA Typed Actors)14:41
You will learn the lifecycle of a typed actor from start to termination.
Unit Testing (AKKA Typed)14:28
Learn AKKA typed actors through unit testing balance and echo messages with a fake DB and fake web service client, using behavior test kit and test inbox for verifiable results.

Requirements

Java knowledge and experience is required
Knowing a bit about concurrent systems and multithreading might help but not a must as it will be covered.

Description

AKKA is a free & open source toolkit developed in Scala. It's running on JVM as scala utilises JVM. It is addressing the difficult and complicated problem of implementing concurrent systems.

Original toolkit is available with two DSLs : Scala and Java.

In this course you will learn how AKKA actors work and learn developing concurrents systems with AKKA with Java language.

AKKA Actors has two variations. They do the same thing but, two different way of implementation.

- AKKA Classical is the libraries up until version version 2.6 and including 2.6

- AKKA Typed is the oher libraries which is introduced with 2.5 as trial and 2.6 as official.

In this course you will learn the both variations. We will first start with AKKA Classical, then will see AKKA Typed actors.

Java knowledge is required as this course doesn't include Java training. It doesn't have to be at expert level but you should be able to develop basic applications on your own.

Knowing multithreading and concurrents systems can be helpful however it is not a requirement as the course covers the brief introduction on concurrency, threads, multi-threads and parallelism.

After teaching the AKKA Actors module, the course will go into details of scaling the actors for multithreading. You will learn about all possible routing options.

Following the routing for scaling AKKA Actors, you will learn about AKKA supervision strategies and life cycle of an actor.

Who this course is for:

Java developers who would like to get a quick entry to AKKA Actors
Developers/entrepreneurs who would like to develop smart multithreaded apps easily
Developers who will have an interview on AKKA Actors
Developers who would like to learn AKKA Classic actors
Developers who would like to learn AKKA Typed actors
