<DIV><p>This book will explain how to create Akka applications using best practices based on several years of experience with Actors. The content will be general enough that it would apply to actor-based and asynchronous applications on the whole, but the examples are shown in Akka using the Scala programming interface. The ideal audience are developers who are building systems with Akka and are looking for guidance with regards to patterns and how best to write code that is correct, debuggable and understandable in production.</p></div>
