Actors as functions - Workshop exploring Akka.NET with F#
Details
VIKTIG OPPDATERING:
På grunn av hotellstreiken flytter vi hele arrangementet (inkludert pizza) til Nyskapingsparken på VilVite senteret. Ta kontakt med Øyvind på telefon 950 64 184 dersom du trenger hjelp til å finne frem.
"All the world's a stage, all the men and women merely actors, and all the actors merely functions"
William Shakespeare (mostly)
During this 3 hours workshop we will practice implementing a scalable file distribution engine.
We will be writing it in F# using actor model and Akka.NET.
Instuctors:
Erlend Wiig (NRK), Vagif Abilov (Miles)
Prerequisites:
- Computer with either Visual Studio (2013/2015) or Xamarin Studio installed.
- F# version 3.1 or higher…
- It is recommended to do or at least review tasks from Petabridge Akka Bootcamp ( https://github.com/petabridge/akka-bootcamp ), especially its F# part.
- Access to FTP server is recommended but not mandatory. We will make available an FTP simulator that will simulate FTP operations on a local machines.
