Reactive Java Programming teaches you reactive programming using the Java programming language and its functional aspects, sometimes called RxJava. According to the author, Netflix created Reactive Java or RxJava in 2013 to resolve threading issues in their middle tier servers. It was so successful that they quickly adopted it across their company. RxJava solves "callback hell" and makes it easier to write thread-safe code without hanging onto state variables which comes in handy for cloud computing software as a service issues, especially around big data processes through streaming.
The author, Colin Lee, is a computer programming expert with expertise in both Java and Android programming. In this book, he even includes unique coverage of reactive Android programming, growing more and more popular in mobile development with the Cloud. After reading or using this guide to reactive programming, you'll be able to apply it to your own big data cloud applications that use Java. Java is after all one of the two most popular programming languages used in cloud computing and big data development (with .NET/C# being the other most popular language).
Colin Lee has been programming computers since he learned BASIC on his TRS-80 at age six. He started writing Android software soon after the first Android phone was sold. He has worked in senior Android roles at MentorMate and When I Work.
As a speaker at major technology conferences like AnDevCon, Colin regularly delivers highly acclaimed talks about reactive programming, networking, and threading.
