LambdaConf 2015 - Building Concurrent, Fault Tolerant, Scalable Applications in F# using Akka Net
By, Riccardo Terrell Writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant, scalable applications is no simple task. The struggle is generally the result of using the wrong tools or wrong level of abstraction. The Actor based concurrency model aims to simplify this process. The actor model is a mathe
