Learning RxJava

About this book

Reactive Programming with Java and ReactiveX Key Features [*]Explore the essential tools and operators RxJava provides, and know which situations to use them in [*]Delve into Observables and Subscribers, the core components of RxJava used for building scalable and performant reactive applications [*]Delve into the practical implementation of tools to effectively take on complex tasks such as concurrency and backpressure Book DescriptionRxJava is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using Observable sequences for the JVM, allowing developers to build robust applications in less time. Learning RxJava addresses all the fundamentals of reactive programming to help readers write reactive code, as well as teach them an effective approach to designing and implementing reactive libraries and applications. Starting with a brief introduction to reactive programming concepts, there is an overview of Observables and Observers, the core components of RxJava, and how to combine different streams of data and events together. You will also learn simpler ways to achieve concurrency and remain highly performant, with no need for synchronization. Later on, we will leverage b…
