The WingDing Study Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingding)
begins our exploration of Reactive Programming and Akka.

The next meeting is...
Tuesday, Sept 24 7:00 to 9:00 PM

FlowPlay, Inc.
114 Alaskan Way South, Suite 100
Seattle, WA 98104

We kick off this iteration with The Reactive Manifesto (
http://www.reactivemanifesto.org/) and Chapter 1: Introduction of the Akka
docs (http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.2.1/intro/index-java.html). Bob will
lead the discussion.

For the Akka framework we are going to try to see how far we can get using
just the documentation at http://akka.io/docs/ . The PDF is 11 chapters
and 300 some odd pages. The plan is to explore Akka in both Java and Scala
leaving it up to the individual to select which language they would like to
use. The belief is that the concepts are the same. If this doesn't work
out, we will favor the Java implementation.
