Next week I will be presenting **Going Reactive with Java 8** at the Boulder and Denver Java User Groups. Here is the session description:

> Java 8's lambdas make building Reactive applications a whole lot easier and cleaner. Through copious code examples this session will show you how to build event-driven, scalable, resilient, and responsive applications with Java 8, Play Framework and Akka. On the web side you will learn about using lambdas for async & non-blocking requests & WebSockets. You will also learn how the actor model in Akka pairs well with lambdas to create an event-driven foundation that provides concurrency, clustering and fault-tolerance.

Sign up for [Tuesday, May 13, 2014 in Boulder][1] or [Wednesday, May 14, 2014 in Denver][2]. Hope to see you there!
