Derek Wyatt's book, Akka Concurrency, is a fantastic introduction to Akka. It should definitely be the first stop for anyone wanting to do serious Akka programming.
The LET IT CRASH blog (http://letitcrash.com) is the official Akka blog, and contains many examples of idioms and patterns to solve common issues.
