Reactive Programming in Java 12 with RxJava 2

Course Overview
Computer hardware has evolved by leaps and bounds over the last several decades. Now, software development techniques must evolve as well to leverage newer computer systems that, instead of adding raw clock speed, now scale by having more onboard processor cores. We need to throw off the old single- threaded coding mindset and invent new ways to execute our code concurrently while keeping the complexity of our code manageable. In this course, we will explore the RxJava 2 reactive programming library and how to leverage its features to implement reactive programming concepts as put forth in the Reactive Manifesto. The programming concepts given in the Reactive Manifesto, when paired with the power of the RxJava 2 library, gives us a powerful set of tools to improve the performance and responsiveness of our code while minimizing the complexity of asynchronous programming. We will start with a discussion of the basics of creating RxJava observable streams, how to control the threading behavior of that code, and how to create event-driven applications. You will complete this course with a foundational understanding of how RxJava 2 works and how to apply what you've learned to the topics of network communication, database access, and concurrent data
