Reactive Web Applications: Covers Play, Akka, and Reactive Streams

Synopsis

SummaryReactive Web Applications teaches web developers how to benefit from the reactive application architecture and presents hands-on examples using the Play framework.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyReactive applications build on top of components that communicate asynchronously as they react to user and system events. As a result, they become scalable, responsive, and fault-tolerant. Java and Scala developers can use the Play Framework and the Akka concurrency toolkit to easily implement reactive applications without building everything from scratch.About the BookReactive Web Applications teaches web developers how to benefit from the reactive application architecture and presents hands-on examples using Play, Akka, Scala, and Reactive Streams. This book starts by laying out the fundamentals required for writing functional and asynchronous applications and quickly introduces Play as a framework to handle the plumbing of your application. The book alternates between chapters that introduce reactive ideas (asynchronous programming with futures and actors, managing distributed state with CQRS) and practical examples that show you how to build these ideas into your applications.What's InsideReactive application architectureBasics of Play and AkkaExamples in ScalaFunctional and asynchronous programmingAbout Reader DescriptionFor readers comfortable programming with a higher-level language such as Java or C#, and who can read Scala code. No experience with Play or Akka needed.About the AuthorManuel Bernhardt is a passionate engineer, author, and speaker. As a consultant, he guides companies through the technological and organizational transformation to distributed computing.Table of ContentsPART 1 GETTING STARTED WITH REACTIVE WEB APPLICATIONS Did you say reactive?
