Let it crash

Dear hakkers,
we decided to move the Akka Team blog to the blog.akka.io.

The Let it Crash blog will remain as-is for archival purposes, as many of the posts (especially some from the Summer of Blog) are top quality and still very relevant nowadays.

In their latest blog series on getting started and diving into the Akka ecosystem, Heiko explains the basics of how an Actor works and how to use them properly: Codecentric Blo: Introduction to Akka Actors

Christian Hoffmeister shared an excellent post about using BidiFlow (the best building block available to represent arbitrary protocols in Akka Streams) to communicate with an IRC protocol: Use akka-stream BidiFlows with an IRC client

Arun Manivannan has been writing up a very comprehensive guide / collection of notes along with code samples. You can read them on his blog: rerun.me – Akka Notes.
