Learning RxJava

Overview of this book

RxJava is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using Observable sequences for the JVM, allowing developers to build robust applications in less time. Learning RxJava addresses all the fundamentals of reactive programming to help readers write reactive code, as well as teach them an effective approach to designing and implementing reactive libraries and applications. Starting with a brief introduction to reactive programming concepts, there is an overview of Observables and Observers, the core components of RxJava, and how to combine different streams of data and events together. You will also learn simpler ways to achieve concurrency and remain highly performant, with no need for synchronization. Later on, we will leverage backpressure and other strategies to cope with rapidly-producing sources to prevent bottlenecks in your application. After covering custom operators, testing, and debugging, the book dives into hands-on examples using RxJava on Android as well as Kotlin.

Who this book is for

This book is for Java programmers who have a fundamental grasp of object-oriented programing and core Java features. You should be familiar with variables, types, classes, properties, methods, generics, inheritance, interfaces, and static classes/properties/methods. In the Java standard library, you should at least be familiar with collections (including Lists, Sets, and Maps) as well as object equality (hashcode()/equals()). If any of these topics sound unfamiliar, you may want to read Java: A Beginner’s Guide by Herbert Schildt to learn the fundamentals of Java. Also, Effective Java (2nd Edition) by Joshua Bloch is a classic book that should be on every Java developer’s shelf. This book strives to use the best practices cited by Bloch.

You do not need to be familiar with concurrency as a prerequisite. This topic will be covered from an RxJava perspective.
