Reactive Streams in Java: Concurrency with RxJava, Reactor, and Akka Streams

by Adam L. Davis

Get an easy introduction to reactive streams in Java to handle concurrency, data streams, and the propagation of change in today's applications. This compact book includes in-depth introductions to RxJava, Akka Streams, and Reactor, and integrates the latest related features from Java 9 and 11, as well as reactive streams programming with the Android SDK.

 

Reactive Streams in Java explains how to manage the exchange of stream data across an asynchronous boundary—passing elements on to another thread or thread-pool—while ensuring that the receiving side is not forced to buffer arbitrary amounts of data which can reduce application efficiency.  After reading and using this book, you'll be proficient in programming reactive streams for Java in order to optimize application performance, and improve memory management and data exchanges.

Writing can sometimes be a thankless job; while I know it probably took nontrivial effort to write this book, I wonder who exactly thought it would be a good idea to put together a book that is essentially a collection of "getting started" and "hello world" chapters. I don't see anyone except absolute beginners gaining anything from this book and even they would be better off with reading the official documentation of any of the libraries presented here.
