Functional Reactive Programming with RxJava

Explore functional reactive programming with RxJava in this conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2013. Discover how Netflix API leverages RxJava to build highly concurrent web services that interact with asynchronous data sources without the need for blocking, synchronization, or thread-safety concerns. Learn about the principles of functional reactive composition and how they can be applied in Java. Gain insights into the use cases addressed by RxJava and see real-world examples of its implementation in application development. Understand how RxJava supports multiple JVM languages, including Java 6+, Clojure, Scala, Groovy, JRuby, and Java 8 lambdas. Delve into the world of observable sequences and their role in composing asynchronous and event-based programs for the Java Virtual Machine.
