DESCRIPTION:
Manuel Bernhardt is a passionate engineer, author, and speaker. As a consultant, he guides companies through the technological and organizational transformation to distributed computing.
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.. Reactive 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. 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. Java and Scala developers can use the Play Framework and the Akka concurrency toolkit to easily implement reactive applications without building everything from scratch.Reactive 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
"Not a beginner's book, but definitely useful if you want to learn how to work in the world of large-scale, reactive platforms" according to Si Dunn. "Reactive web applications are designed to cope with varying loads," the author, Manuel Bernhardt, notes. "When building web applications, one critical piece of informatin that should flow into the design is the expected load in terms of requests per second that the application should be able to handle." For some applications, such as a small-town plumber's business-card-style website, this will not be muc. and I would like to say this is one of BEST books in Kuo-Lung Chin I bought this E-book from Manning.com. So far I have gone through it from chapter 1 to chapter 9, and I would like to say this is one of BEST books in Scala solution stack that I have read. It provides some great examples in reactive design patterns; however, this book requires the readers have some Scala knowledge or experience. And it covers how to utilize Akka in your web application although it is not . All you ever wanted to know about reactive applications and how to build them Franchu This book provides a very solid base to understand what reactive web applications are and how to build them. While the book is heavily centered around the Play framework and Akka, many of the concepts used in the book translate well for other languages and systems. The author has real life experience building this type of systems and it shows with the insights he provides anticipating the questions and dou
