Groovy actors and concurrent dataflow with GPars

Low-level concurrency handling is usually hard to get right. And it's not much fun either. Now, when parallel systems are the norm in the mainstream, it has become obvious that the common shared-memory multithreading causes more troubles than it solves. In this hands-on session we will go through the concurrency options that GPars gives to your Java and Groovy applications. We'll cover parallel collection processing, asynchronous closures, actors, and other concepts, which aim to make your code concurrent with little effort.
