Overview
Reactive and asynchronous applications are growing in popularity, but what is the best way to build them? This course, designed for software architects and intermediate- to advanced-level Java programmers, teaches you how to apply the latest concurrency techniques to develop state of the art Java applications. With the rise of microservices and service oriented architectures (SOAs), asynchronous concurrency is now critical in day-to-day Java development. This course builds upon theory offered in the associated "Asynchronous Programming in Java" course by refactoring several Java projects using RxJava. It explains the concepts behind this popular library, shows how RxJava compares with other concurrency concepts, and illustrates how to use the library productively in practice.
- Understand how to program event-driven reactive code using the RxJava library
- Learn to implement reactive code in a readable and maintainable way using RxJava
- Gain experience building reliable and performant Java apps in a microservices/SOA model

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
