Howdy Folks,

We're fortunate to have Greg Benson (Sr software engineer on Android @ Netflix) to lead our April live code! Greg is going to present on how to incorporate reactive programming into your Android apps with RxJava (https://github.com/Netflix/RxJava). Rx provides a new way of thinking about both data and events, and can be used to improve user experience and the overall quality of your app. Greg will build RxJava into an app and explain some of problems that Rx solves well.

There are a few things that Rx does well, and will be highlighted in the coding presentation:

• Simplified concurrency and background task management

• Easier error handling

• Composing observables to manage sequences of asynchronous data

• Transforming data and events (same tool kit!)
