FinagleCon was held at TwitterHQ in San Fran­cisco. It is re­fresh­ing to see a nice work­ing at­mo­sphere with free food and drinks. Now for the con­tents.

The Ad­vanced Akka course is provided by Typesafe and is aimed at teach­ing ad­vanced us­ages of Akka. The course cov­ers the ba­sics of Akka, Re­mot­ing, Clus­ter­ing, Routers, CRDTs, Cluster Shard­ing and Akka Per­sist­ance. The fol­low­ing post starts with a gen­eral in­tro­duc­tion to Akka and presents the takeaways from the course as we ex­per­i­enced them.
