GLA Summit

Actor Framework scales well. As an explicitly object-oriented design, it offers the experienced developer an extensive array of options for managing the complexities of large systems. New developers, however, need a way in. This presentation is that starting point! If you understand the queue-driven message handler, I’ll give you the framework-specific knowledge you need to write the actor that takes its place, with almost no knowledge of object-orientation required. I will then show you how to build simple systems at the level of complexity of a few QMH modules. Wrapping up, I will cover the specific applications of a few OO techniques that will let you start to unlock the full potential of the framework. By the presentation’s conclusion, you’ll understand that anyone can start working in Actor Framework!
