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

[Michajlo Matijkiw <michajlo.matijkiw@gmail.com>]

As requested & promised, the examples from the talk.  I aspire to refine these a bit and get them on github, but for now this should do.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ls0b202cmxon15q/actor-model.tar.gz

The entry point is "./start-repl.sh" and the examples are in the aptly named "examples" directory. All you need is Java, Scala and akka are included. If you use vim and don't have scala syntax highlighting set up there's a script in the "vim-cfg" directory for that.

Some of the stuff may be a little rough around the edges, I aspire to clean it up eventually...

And if hands on examples and pizza isn't your thing, then Mishu will also be debuting his one-man play "Pirouette", it's kind of a post-modernist thing. 

Thanks,

I'll have some hands on examples, so it is advised you bring a computer.  If hands on examples aren't your thing there will also be pizza.

Hey folks,

It turns out that the catering and space in the Comcast center aren't available tomorrow due to a holiday party.  Sorry to do this at the last minute, but I'm going to have to push the date of the meeting back to December 13th at the same time.

New doodle poll incoming shortly.  Again terribly sorry!

Thanks,
MBL

Indeed, fail on my part.  Sorry about that, the plan was to mostly cover Akka...

As those of you who clicked the doodle link may have observed, the intended title is "Building Stuff with the Actor Model".  The focus can be on Erlang though if people are into it.

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
