Knowing the Actor Model axioms is a start, but it doesn't get you very far. In the end you need some higher level theory of organisation, e.g. of communication patterns. I found Gul Agha's book interesting (freely available)[0]. And also stuff coming out of the Akka community, e.g. [1]
This is interesting too: Video: "Roland Kuhn - Akka Typed: Between Session Types and the Actor Model - Curry On"[2].

- wturner 10y agoI posted the article after reading it to help me learn the underpinning assumptions of Erlang/Elixir
- RossBencina 10y agoIn that case, keep in mind that the Erlang developers had never heard of the Actor Model.[0] Joe Armstrong's PhD thesis is an excellent read, and gives good background to Erlang.[1] [0] http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2014-June/079796.html http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2014-June/07979...
