Conference: Nov 13-15, 2017
Workshops: Nov 16-17, 2017
Workshop: Beginning RxJava
Location:
- Bayview A
When:
- Friday
Prerequisites
RxJava is a relatively new way of expressing and composing streams of data as well as asynchronous computations. You can find lots of tutorials related to various operators that RxJava provides. However we will focus on fundamental concepts in Rx like backpressure and hot vs. cold sources. This is a workshop for beginners so feel free to join if you have no experience whatsoever. There will be no slides and very little talking. Each and every participant will get a set of exercises in the form of unit tests to follow.
By the end of the workshop you will be capable of using RxJava safely and effectively in both greenfield and legacy projects. This will allow you to write expressive, thread-safe and well-performing code both on the server and on mobile devices. Also you will learn how to look for certain operators and understand their behavior.
Key Takeaways:
- subscription mechanism and error propagation
- hot vs. cold sources
- declarative concurrency and threading
- backpressure and flow control
- unit testing
