Building concurrent systems using Akka.NET
summary
Shows how Akka.NET implements the Actor Model to replace locks by message-passing: a running demo builds a trajectory speed‑camera system with entry/exit camera actors, a round‑robin pool of traffic‑control actors, one vehicle‑per‑actor for each license plate, DMV child actors for external calls, and a single collection agency actor. The system simulates cars (demo uses 15) on a laptop, produces speeding tickets and euros, and runs without threads, mutexes or asks; code is on GitHub.
