December Meeting - 6:30 Comcast Center - Building Stuff With Erlang

[Michael Bevilacqua-Linn <michael.bevilacqualinn@gmail.com>]

Hey Folks,

Sorry for the recent radio silence, but I've finally got our next meeting lined up.  It'll be December 6th, at 6:30 in the Comcast center, presented by Michajlo Matikiw.

Doodle poll is here - http://www.doodle.com/36v6xvn43y6sknt8

And abstract as follows:

Learn the basics of building massively parallel fault tolerant systems using the actor model. For those of you not familiar with the actor model it is a play on OO except with asynchrony, lots of parallelism, and plenty of room for failure. I'll probably focus largely on Akka and Scala, but credit must be given where it's due, Erlang, for popularlizing the paradigm. Slides aren't put together yet, so if there's anything in particular you would like to hear about requests are welcomed, but there are no guarantees.

Thanks,

MBL
