Learning Akka (Video 3)

The video tutorial covers key concepts in concurrent applications, including concurrency, parallelism, asynchronous and synchronous calls, blocking and nonblocking operations, and race conditions. It explains the differences between concurrency and parallelism, the nature of asynchronous and synchronous calls, and the implications of blocking and nonblocking threads. The video also delves into race conditions, highlighting how they occur and their impact on applications. The tutorial concludes with a summary of these concepts, preparing viewers for the next video on creating a Hello World app in Akure.

Describe what a race condition is and provide an example.

How do actors help prevent race conditions in concurrent applications?
