Video description

In this course, you'll learn about Reactive programming and libraries such as RxJava and Reactor that are designed to keep the application responsive and make the system more resilient.

The course starts by helping you understand the fundamentals of RxJava to make it easy for you to learn advanced topics such as the Reactive Manifesto, callbacks, callback hell, sync vs async, concurrent vs parallel, and the observer design pattern. As you advance, you'll also dive into the concepts of observable and observers, operators, combining observables, and replaying caching and subjects. You'll then explore concurrency and parallelism and get to grips with buffering, throttling, and switching.

By the end of the course, you'll have developed a solid understanding of Reactive programming concepts and RxJAVA.

What You Will Learn

  • Get to grips with Reactive programming fundamentals
  • Explore RxJava 3 and its features
  • Understand the implementation of Java Reactive Streams
  • Learn about the observer design pattern
  • Explore the different Streams in Java with the help of coding examples

Audience

If you want to learn RxJava and Reactive programming and use them to create amazing applications, this course is for you.
