Other Parts of This Series: Part 1: Reactive Programming in Java - Part 1 (Intro) Reactive Programming (Photo Credit: zibtek.com) In the previous part we were trying to understand what actually reactive programming is and how its mechanism operates. In this part we will try to explore what a reactive operator means and how it works, and gradually we will try to start thinking in a reactive way. So, let’s start… ...

Other Parts of This Series: Part 2: Reactive Programming in Java - Part 2 (Thinking In Reactive Way and Reative Operator) Reactive Programming (Photo Credit: Reactive Programming Book by Sergi Mansilla) Before deep dive into hands on reactive programming using Java, let’s understand the core concepts first. What is Reactive Programming? In simple words, as its name suggests, reactive programming is a kind of programming paradigm that can react based on something. It uses declarative code (in a manner that is similar to functional programming) in order to build asynchronous processing pipelines. It is an event-based model where data is pushed to the consumer as it becomes available: we deal with asynchronous sequences of events. So reactive programming is programming with asynchronous data streams. ...
