spray: HTTP for your Akka Actors

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

In this session I'll be live-coding for most of the time, showing you how easy it is to:

1. Send an HTTP request and receive HTTP responses on the client-side
2. Write a low-level HTTP server
3. Use the high-level routing DSL on the server-side to define a simple REST API behavior.

Additionally I'll talk about what is on the agenda regarding the move into Akka as well as the transition from Netty to the new akka-http as the HTTP "driver" for the Play framework.

If you haven't used spray yourself yet the recording of the recent Typesafe Webinar gives you some good more high-level introduction to spray, which might help in making the most of this session.
