Anyone have intro to AF presentation?

[CaseyLamers1]

I am giving a presentation at our local UGM next week. Does anyone have an intro to AF presentation? Just trying to get some canned starting material so I don't need to create it...

Thanks,

Casey

Hi Casey,

do you mean sth. like a use case as an introduction for the presentation?

I had a hard time learning AF, and took many stabs at it. It finally clicked when I saw the early proof-of-concept presentation video by.. Steve Mercer & another NI eng? They showed a simple QMH, then converted the messages to Objects, and the states to Methods. Maybe you can find that presentation as a starting point? Sorry I don't have a link to it off hand.

You can always start at the beginning:

Actor Framework.pptx at NI Week 2011

Also, Daklu has a great presentation on the Actor Model in general.  Those two, together, became the first chapter in the AF course.

Oli,

I meant a power point presentation. I understand AF. I am giving a user group meeting. I didn't want to create a presentation from scratch if I could use someone elses.

Thanks,

Casey

I did a mini YouTube series on actor framework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k3ZDwJolbA&list=PLmF-6jvwRvVNFzBjzh4bQDjFbv6lShcth

It's still a work in progress, but there are 10 videos to get you started.
