Learning Concurrent Programming in Scala - Second Edition

Exercises

In the following exercises, you will need to implement different Observable objects. The exercises show different use cases for Observable objects, and contrast the different ways of creating Observable objects. Also, some of the exercises introduce new reactive programming abstractions, such as reactive maps and reactive priority queues.

1. Implement a custom Observable[Thread] object that emits an event when it detects that a thread was started. The implementation is allowed to miss some of the events.
2. Implement an Observable object that emits an event every 5 seconds and every 12 seconds, but not if the elapsed time is a multiple of 30 seconds. Use functional combinators on Observable objects.
3. Use the randomQuote method from this section ...
