Tomasz Jaskula Tomasz, you’ve known Vaughn for many years. How did you meet? I had the pleasure of meeting Vaughn in person in 2013 during one of the first IDDD …
I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful group of individuals in Amsterdam who participated in the Reactive Domain-Driven Design with the XOOM/PLATFORM day. Wow! That’s a mouthfull! Some of the XOOM contributors and the Kalele team were able to carve out some time in everyone’s busy schedule to connect in the wonderful city of …
The easiest way to get up and running quickly with XOOM, along with an explanation of our position on open source innovation. We’ve decided to introduce a familiar way to learn the different components of the XOOM toolset—without the need to understand everything about our platform up front. It is our belief that all application …

With the continuous news about the XOOM/PLATFORM you’ve probably been wondering how you can put the reactive goodness to use. Here I explain how the use XOOM/ACTORS to achieve asynchronous messaging between objects, which are implemented as actors.
Several have requested a document describing the XOOM/PLATFORM architecture. So here it is. This specific article is kept relatively brief. This is in part to emphasize the simplicity of the XOOM/PLATFORM. It’s just not complicated or difficult to describe.
