About the talks

To Hell with Callback Hells

Everyone knows the callback. A very simple way to tackle asynchronous programming, but not a very good one. JavaScript adopted the promise, Java has the CompletableFuture which were better but quite limited in their possibilities. Not to mention the fact that we need to deal with streaming data more and more...

In this talk we will explore one of the best solutions to do asynchronous programming right; observables. ReactiveX is an API implemented in Java, JavaScript and much more. Why is it such a hype? Is it really that good? We'll look at real life use cases in JavaScript and Java to demonstrate the observable and all it's power. After this talk you'll never look at asynchronous code the same again!

The Definite Guide to Reactive Programming in Java

Everything is reactive. Your application reacts to the click of a button, an incoming message. But also to the result of a database query. Between these events, you want to process other tasks. Being reactive needs a complete approach. Let’s look at the state of reactive programming in Java. Which frameworks are available? Do we have everything to build enterprise grade reactive applications? How to we produce readable and maintainable code? This is the complete overview of reactive programming in Java. We will cover the following libraries:

• RxJava
• Project Reactor
• Akka streams.
We will explain the difference between Java 8 Streams, reactive streams and the Java 9 Flow API. We will have a look at how all these libraries work together. The following frameworks will be discussed:

• Vert.x
• Akka
• Spring 5

After this talk the attendee is completely up to date with Reactive in Java.
