Lightbend CTO and co-founder Jonas Bonér joins the Programming Throwdown podcast to discuss the finer points of Akka, Actors, and Reactive.

Join Hugh McKee, Akka expert and Developer Advocate at Lightbend, on an illustrated journey that goes deep into how Akka works–from individual Akka actors to fully distributed clusters across multiple datacenters.

In this webinar, special guest Vaughn Vernon explains why the Actor Model is so vital to the future of developing and embracing distributed, Reactive systems deployed on hybrid cloud infrastructures.

Most likely, your job is heavily focused on helping your organization modernize for the digital era. As the days of purely Object-Oriented Programming and related frameworks come to a close, enterprises migrating to distributed, cloud infrastructures are embracing a different approach: the Actor Model.

We proudly announce the launch of Lightbend Solution Architect Hugh McKee's concise, 43-page O'Reilly book Designing Reactive Systems: The Role Of Actors In Distributed Architecture, which covers what your team should know about the Actor Model from the ground up. In less than 1 hour.
