What you'll learn:
- Reactive microservices
- REST APIs in minutes
- Server and Client-side HTTP
- JSON integration
- Websockets
- JSON Web Tokens (JWT) authorization
- Seamless interaction with Akka Actors and Akka Streams
In this course, wewill learn how to write reactive microservices, backends and RESTAPIs using the powerful Akka HTTP.You'll write 2000+lines of Akka codeyourself, with guidance,and you will become a rockstar.
This course is for Scala/Akka programmers who need to designlarge-scale reactive HTTPbackends and microservices.
You probably knowAkka already:
it speeds up the development of concurrent applications by as much as 10x
its demand has exploded
it's a highly marketable skill
it'sincredibly fun- power in your hands!
I like to get to the point and get things done.This course
deconstructsall conceptsinto the critical pieces you need
selectsthe most important ideasand separates them into what's simple butcritical and what's powerful
sequencesideas in a way that "clicks" and makes sense throughout the process of learning
applieseverythingin live code
The end benefits are still much greater:
a completely new mental model around stream-based microservices
a more marketable resume
more enjoyable work- Akka is fun!
This course is forestablished programmerswith experience with Scala and Akka (including Akka Streams) at the level of the Rock the JVM courses. I already assume a solid understanding of general programming fundamentals.
This course is NOT for you if
you've never written Scala code before
you've never worked with Akka
The course is comprehensive, butyou'll always see me get straight to the point. So make sure you have a good level of focus and commitment to become a badass programmer.
Ibelieve both theoryandpractice are important. That's why you'll get lectures with code examples, real life code demos and assignments, plus additional resources, instructions, exercises and solutions.
I've seen that my students are most successful - and my best students work at Google-class companies -when they're guided, but not being told what to do. I have exercises waiting for you, where I offer my (opinionated)guidance but otherwisefreedom to experiment and improve upon your code.
Definitely not least, my students are most successful when they have fun along the way!
So join me in this course and let's rock the JVM!
