Concurrency Without Pain in Pure Java

Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 5:30pm

Programming concurrency has turned into a herculean task. I call the traditional approach as the synchronized and suffer model. Fortunately, there are other approaches to concurrency and you can reach out to those directly from your Java code. In this presentation we will discuss the actor based concurrency and also the software transaction memory. We will then develop examples using AKKA and compare the power of these approaches in contrast to the traditional approach.

Please sign up for this event as we expect a large turnout and would like to get the food and beverages order as close as possible.

Venkat will be able to join us briefly after the meeting at Cap Ale, please join us.
