HANDS ON - stream thinking and stream-based programming using Akka

What is a stream? Come find out why it became so important in the software world. We'll introduce the basic concepts first and then move to a hands-on workshop to uncover the power of stream thinking and stream-based programming using Akka. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!

What you'll take away:

A clear definition of Stream
Stream thinking
The basics of a stream-based programming model on the JVM

What you need:

- Notebook with working Scala or Java development environment (including a build system).

Note that I will use Scala, but Java will be conceptually the same - your extra challenge will be to find out the right syntax and method. I will personally use IntelliJ IDEA + Scala plugin + SBT.
