Reactive Programming in Modern Java using Project Reactor

Description

Reactive Programming is a new programming paradigm that’s well suited for applications that are required to perform better under heavy load.

Reactive Programming is built on the foundation of reactive streams specification. Project Reactor is an implementation of Reactive Streams Specification.

Code that’s written using Reactive programming has these qualities:

• Fundamentally Asynchronous
• Non Blocking
• Functional Programming Style of code
• Backpressure support

This course is designed to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge about reactive programming using Project Reactor. This is a pure hands-on oriented course and all the concepts are explained by writing code.
