Workshop: RxJava 2 For Beginners

RxJava is a relatively new way of expressing and composing streams of data as well as asynchronous computations. In this two-day, hands-on, online course, Tomasz Nurkiewicz shows you how to use RxJava safely and effectively in both greenfield and legacy projects. You’ll discover how to work with fundamental concepts in Rx such as backpressure and hot vs. cold sources. You will also learn how to look for specific Rx operators and understand their behaviour. By the end of this course, you will be capable of writing expressive, thread-safe, and well-performing code both on the server and on mobile devices.

By the end of this live, hands-on course, you’ll understand:

• How to put the core principles behind RxJava into practice in your applications
• How to distinguish between specific RxJava operators and understand their behaviour
• How to avoid common pitfalls with schedulers and multithreading
• How to work with an event-based, reactive programming model

And you’ll be able to:

• Write robust, reliable, and readable reactive applications for server-side and mobile devices
• Manage infinite streams of application data
• Create and execute unit and integration tests

This training course is for you because...

• You are an experienced Java programmer who wants to learn how to manage infinite streams of data and write highly reactive, throughput-sensitive applications
• You are a software architect who wants to learn how to design resilient, responsive, and scalable distributed systems, especially on the server and mobile devices
