Overview
Reactive programming is shaping the future of how we model data. With reactive, not only can you concisely wrangle and analyze static data, you can effectively work with data as a real-time infinite feed. Reactive Extensions (Rx) first gained traction in 2009 and has been ported to over a dozen major languages and platforms. In this course, you'll learn to use RxPy, a lightweight Rx library, in Python data analysis workflows. It's designed for basic Python users who want to move beyond ad hoc data analysis and make their code geared toward a production environment, as well as for programmers familiar with Scala, Java 8, C#, Swift, and Kotlin who are interested in using the modern higher-order functional chain patterns from those languages.
- Gain detailed awareness of the benefits of reactive programming in data science
- Discover how to solve problems “the reactive way” using push-based versus pull-based iteration
- Understand why reactive programming produces strong, simple, resilient code models
- Learn to leverage RxPy for concurrency when cluster computing hardware is unavailable
- Master the use of RxPy and create more robust Python code for all your data science tasks

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.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
