Download e-book for iPad: Learning RxJava by Thomas Nield

Key Features

• Explore the basic instruments and operators RxJava offers, and recognize which events to take advantage of them in
• Delve into Observables and Subscribers, the center elements of RxJava used for development scalable and performant reactive applications
• Delve into the sensible implementation of instruments to successfully tackle complicated initiatives reminiscent of concurrency and backpressure

Book Description

RxJava is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based courses utilizing Observable sequences for the JVM, permitting builders to construct strong purposes in much less time.

Learning RxJava addresses all of the basics of reactive programming to assist readers write reactive code, in addition to educate them an efficient method of designing and enforcing reactive libraries and applications.

Starting with a quick creation to reactive programming options, there's an summary of Observables and Observers, the center elements of RxJava, and the way to mix diverse streams of information and occasions jointly. additionally, you will examine easier how you can in attaining concurrency and stay hugely performant, without having for synchronization. afterward, we'll leverage backpressure and different suggestions to deal with rapidly-producing assets to avoid bottlenecks on your software. After overlaying customized operators, trying out, and debugging, the booklet dives into hands-on examples utilizing RxJava on Android in addition to Kotlin.

What you are going to learn

• Learn the positive factors of RxJava 2 that result in many major alterations, together with new reactive forms resembling Flowable, unmarried, perhaps, and Completable
• Understand how reactive programming works and the attitude to "think reactively"
• Demystify the Observable and the way it speedy expresses facts and occasions as sequences
• Learn many of the Rx operators that remodel, clear out, and mix info and occasion sequences
• Leverage multicasting to push information to a number of locations, and cache and replay them
• Discover how concurrency and parallelization paintings in RxJava, and the way it makes those often complicated projects trivial to implement
• Apply RxJava and Retrolambda to the Android area to create responsive Android apps with greater person experiences
• Use RxJava with the Kotlin language to specific RxJava extra idiomatically with extension capabilities, info periods, and different Kotlin features

About the Author

Thomas Nield is a company advisor for Southwest airways in time table tasks, and a maintainer for RxJavaFX and RxKotlin. Early in his occupation, he turned excited about expertise and its function in company analytics. After changing into educated in Java, Kotlin, Python, SQL, and reactive programming, he turned an open resource contributor in addition to an author/speaker at O'Reilly Media. he's enthusiastic about sharing what he learns and permitting others with new ability units. He enjoys making technical content material relatable and suitable to these unusual with or intimidated by way of it.

Currently, Thomas is attracted to info technological know-how, reactive programming, and the Kotlin language. you'll locate him talking on those 3 topics and the way they could interconnect.

He has additionally authored the publication Getting began with SQL, by means of O'Reilly Media.
