	Description:		In the final episode of the "Deep Dive in to the Typesafe Reactive Platform" series, Nilanjan Raychaudhuri will walk you through building Reactive apps with Akka and Scala. He will expand on both projects and outline how they support the Typesafe Platform. Beginning with Akka, an asynchronous event-driven runtime implemented in Scala, Nilanjan will demonstrate how the project enables the development of high performance and reliable distributed applications. He'll walk us through how Akka decouples business logic from low-level mechanisms and how, with Akka, you can easily configure how Actors will be created, destroyed, scheduled, and how to deal with failures. You can get started building Reactive Akka applications using Java APIs. Nilanjan will cover how, when you're ready, the Scala programming language makes building Reactive applications on the JVM less complicated and elegant. Because Scala integrates both functional and object-oriented paradigms and retains full interoperability with your existing Java libraries and infrastructure, you can take advantage of multicore hardware. Consequently, it’s an excellent programming model for Reactive.
