Practical Java concurrency with the Akka Actor Model
- 4.7
Brief Introduction
Learn how to avoid thread-safety issues, synchronization and blocking with a really practical hands-on courseDescription
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.
