It's useful to keep in mind that Akka *is* a moderately low-level toolkit; most of us who use it heavily are clear on that. The great thing about Akka is that it doesn't lie to you about where the hard problems are (as opposed to many frameworks that basically brush things under the rug), but it means you do have to wrestle with them. This is why stuff like Akka-HTTP has started to happen: that's a much higher-level framework built on *top* of Akka proper. I expect more such to appear in the coming years. (Don't have any book recommendations personally, I'm afraid -- I've been using Akka since before it was named Akka, so I don't have the right perspective to know what's good to start out...) -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
