<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Reactive Programming and the Actor Model enable enterprise developers to solve complex integration problems that were nearly impossible to address before. Developers can build multi-core, multi-threaded, highly-scalable, high performance, low-latency systems, and write composable software that is event-driven, scalable under load, responsive, and highly resilient. Developers are increasingly recognizing the potential of these technologies, and companies including VMware and SpringSource have recently released new tools for using them. Now, there's a start-to-finish guide to using reactive programming and Actor Model with Scala and Akka: <B>Reactive Enterprise with Actor Model</B>.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Pioneering software engineer Vaughn Vernon begins with a concise, usable review of programming with Scala and the Akka toolkit. Next, he presents easy-to-adapt cookbook solutions for message-based integration. Vernon's detailed solutions address messaging systems, channels, construction, routing, transportation, endpoints, and system management. Each follows the proven format introduced by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf in their popular <I>Enterprise Integration Patterns</I>, while offering advanced solutions based on Scala and Akka. Using this guide's insights and examples, you can take Scala programming to the next level, applying Scala with the Akka toolkit to achieve maximum organizational value.<BR> </P>
