After summer break – hungry for new knowledge – programmers community in Lodz started new season! The main topic of this month was “Akka framework” . Our first special guest was Arek Burduch (https://twitter.com/ark_adius) from Touk (https://twitter.com/TouK_pl) who came to us from Warsaw to present his practical experience with Akka.

And one Week later – Cezary Draus (https://twitter.com/CezaryDraus) did a presentation about Spock – a testing framework written in Groovy which is very expressive and can be easily used in Java Projects.
There is a famous quote from Confucius (at least THE INTERNET says it's from Confucius ;))
“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”
So on Jug Lodz we also had a chance to participate in practical workshops. First of all Robert Budźko (https://twitter.com/rbudzko) organized workshops “Actors Fundamentals” which in very good (and practical) way explained to participants general pros and cons of Akka actor framework
Last workshop was prepared by Pawel Wlodarski (https://twitter.com/PawelWlodarski) - an introduction to BigData world with modern Apache Spark framework. We had a chance to understand Spark origins, general philosophy and it's place in BigData ecosystem.
