The official repository for the Rock the JVM Akka Serialization with Scala course (Udemy edition)

Powered by Rock the JVM!

This repository contains the code we wrote during Rock the JVM's Akka Serialization with Scala course on Udemy. Unless explicitly mentioned, the code in this repository is exactly what was caught on camera.

How to install

• either clone the repo or download as zip
• open with IntelliJ as an SBT project

No need to do anything else, as the IDE will take care to download and apply the appropriate library dependencies.

How to start

Clone this repository and checkout the start tag by running the following in the repo folder:

git checkout start

How to run an intermediate state

The repository was built while recording the lectures. Prior to each lecture, I tagged each commit so you can easily go back to an earlier state of the repo!

The tags are as follows:

• start
• 1.1-scala-recap
• 1.2-akka-recap
• 2.1-custom-serialization
• 2.2-kryo
• 2.3-avro
• 2.4-protobuf
• 2.5-serializers-benchmark

When you watch a lecture, you can git checkout the appropriate tag and the repo will go back to the exact code I had when I started the lecture.
