Functional and Reactive Programming using RxJava 2

RxJava 2: Reactive Programming in Java focuses on providing an understanding of the fundamental principles and technologies that are used in reactive programming. In this cource you will learn about,

· Learn what functional programming means and what it brings to the table

· Learn how Lambda expressions and functional interfaces can greatly enhance other aspects of Java

· Use Lambda expressions and method references in the Collection API

· Use the Stream constructs to work with Collections and Collectors

· Work with the basic Thread class and Runnable interfaces

· Deal with thread synchronization

· Utilize the Java Concurrency API to configure Thread pools

· Discover the Callable interface

· Implement different lock strategies

· Optimize multi-threading using the Complete able Future introduce in Java 8

· Understand the basics of Reactive Programming

· Discuss the advantages and limitations of RxJava Observables

· Write a client application capable of handling Reactive events

· Develop unit tests to properly test Observable implementations (Using JUnit 5)

· Apply operators to event streams to filter, modify and combine the objects emitted by event publishers

· Select the appropriate type of Event Source (Single, Maybe, Completable, Observable and Flowable)

· Implement event sources using one of the many factory methods of the RxJava 2 API

· Use Subjects, acting as both event consumers and event source

· Use both Cold and Hot Observables
