Akka's own documentation is rather good, and free, and has dedicated
sections to cover all the relevant functionality via both the Scala and
Java APIs.
Having said that (and my opinion may be seen as controversial here)...
You
may find it easier to start learning the Scala API and then apply that
understanding to Java. Pattern matching and first-class functions are
both
very heavily used concepts and can be directly expressed in Scala, once
you
understand the "big picture" then Java's encoding of these ideas will be
far less distracting from the core ideas.
I don't have problems with the Akka APIs (Java in my case), which I'm
already using - though still at an elementary level.
I'm searching for something specifically aimed at tests with agents. For
instance, in my studies so far I've ended up with writing a small message
recorder and the Hamcrest support for post-test assertions, as in some
tests I'm verifying that there's a specific exchange of messages. I bet
this is naive, due to the async nature of ages. What I need are agent
testing best practices, I suppose there are some out there...
