Hello SeaJUGgers,
We have a meeting next Tuesday on the 19th at *Disney in downtown Seattle*.
Long time member *Dennis Sosnoski* is visiting and will be talking
about *concurrency
in Java and Scala* (details @ *http://www.seajug.org
<http://www.seajug.org>* and below this message).
TekSystems will be providing *food & drinks*.
I will be video taping the meeting.
*Parking options:* street, library across the street (closes at 9 pm),
convention center or http://goo.gl/Z8atLL
btw we have a new meetup group () and do you know about the LinkedIn group?
cheers,

*19 Aug 2014 : Acting Concurrent with Java and Scala*
Concurrency is the key to application performance in the multicore era.
Java 8 makes basic Java concurrency and parallelism easier, adding
high-level concurrent programming constructs not available in earlier
versions of Java. The open source Akka library <http://akka.io/> for Java
and Scala goes even further, providing both improved concurrency support
within a system and scalability across distributed systems.
In this presentation you'll first get an overview of Java 8 concurrency
features along with the Scala equivalents, then find out about the Actor
model implemented by Akka and why it delivers great concurrency support.
You'll see how Akka works from both the Java and Scala perspective, and
also how Java and Scala can be used together in Akka to allow existing Java
code to be converted to an actor model while taking advantage of simpler
Scala control code. If you're interested in Scala but haven't yet found a
reason to start using it for development, this just may give you the push
you need! Finally, you'll see how to set up distributed systems in Akka.

Sosnoski is a Java and Scala developer with a strong security background
developed over many years of work on data communications and enterprise
systems. His current projects include secure communications between mobile
devices, Java/Scala data exchange and transformation tools, and
enhancements to the Apache CXF web service project. Dennis was a regular at
SeaJUG meetings when he lived in the area, and is looking forward to
meeting up with everyone again while he's back in town.
