Building Reactive Applications
Wednesday, 3:15 PM EST - BEACH VIEW/BREEZE
Reactive Programming is receiving quite a bit of attention and for good reasons. It’s a nice logic next step from functional programming. It takes the concept of function composition and lazy evaluations to the next level. It streamlines handling of many critical issues that are architectural in nature: resilience, scale, responsiveness, and messaging.
In this workshop, we will start with a quick introduction to reactive programming. We will then dive into code examples and learn how to create reactive applications. We’ll learn to implement observables, to deal with errors in a graceful manner, learn both synchronous and asynchronous solutions, hot vs. cold observables, and dealing with backpressures.
Workshop Requirements
This session is a workshop. Please come prepared.
Attendees will pair up to work on the labs. Please be prepared with the following on your systems:
svn (or git-svn) to access the version control for code examples and labs
Java 1.8
Your favorite IDE/TextEditor
The above are the minimum requirements. The reactive library and any other things needed will be downloaded during the workshop. Should you have any questions, please drop an email to Venkat at venkats@agiledeveloper.com.
