About the Technology
Today´s software is shifting to more asynchronous, event-based solutions. For decades, the Observer pattern has been the go-to event infrastructure, but it is known to be bug-prone. Functional reactive programming (FRP) replaces Observer, radically improving the quality of event-based code.
About the Book
Functional Reactive Programming teaches you how FRP works and how to use it. You´ll begin by gaining an understanding of what FRP is and why it´s so powerful. Then, you´ll work through greenfield and legacy code as you learn to apply FRP to practical use cases. You´ll find examples in this book from many application domains using both Java and JavaScript. When you´re finished, you´ll be able to use the FRP approach in the systems you build and spend less time fixing problems.
