You might want to have a look at the book "Actors in Scala" (Artima, 2011). It contains more advanced documentation for Scala Actors, as well as material on Akka actors.

Cheers,

Thank you Philipp. I'm aware of that book. Also this:

Programming Scala: Tackle Multi-Core Complexity on the Java Virtual
Machine (Venkat Subramaniam)

But i'm in Argentina and is pretty hard to get those books.

I was looking for something free in the internet.

Any idea?
