Develop real-world Scala applications using concurrency and message passing in an Akka framework with Play web developmentAbout This VideoUse best-in-class systems including the Akka framework and the Play web framework within your applicationsBuild a form-based application with the MVC architecture using Play and Slick-JDBCUse the message passing pattern to build a ping-pong application and solve the famous dining-philosophers' concurrency problem using the Akka actor systemIn DetailScala is a functional programming language that supports OOP principles and it's quite challenging to develop scalable and reactive applications without any framework/library support. This video course is designed to help Scala programmers who have very basic knowledge of the Scala language build real-world applications from scratch using the Play and Akka frameworks with the underlined concurrency resolution mechanism.In this course you will learn various features of the Play and Akka frameworks by building 5 real-world applications with increasing complexity. Beginning with a simple project, a product catalog-listing application, the course will take you through building a customer data entry application, a string processing application to get a word count, a message passing app like Ping pong actors example and Dining-philosophers problem-in humus.Each project will help you master the programming and data capabilities of Scala. By the end of the course, you will not only be empowered by knowing the ins and outs of Scala, but you will also be able to apply them to solve a variety of problems.The code bundle for this course is available at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Scala-ProjectsDownloading the example code for this course: You can download the example code files for all Packt video courses you have purchased from your account at http://www.PacktPub.com.
