Presentation: Reactive Hardcore. How to build Reactive Library?
Level: DEEP_DETAILS
Speaker: Oleh Dokuka
Duration: 180 minutes (including 30 minutes break) + Q&A session
Language: Russian

Description:
Reading loads of papers and blogs about insights into Reactive Libraries,the specific rules of Reactive Streams Specification or simply grasping the source code can usually be hardcore. During my presentation we will summarize all the important points by implementing our own ‘Reactor’ in Java. The more popular Reactive Programming/Libraries become, the more often we have to deal with those techniques and solutions. Sometimes we have to deal just with smoothies API of Reactive Extensions, sometimes we have to dive into the insights of those libraries, or sometimes we even have to build our own implementation.
Nevertheless, the understanding of the basic patterns, behavior that is hidden inside most of the Reactive Libraries and Toolkits / Best Practice might simplify our life while debugging /implementing Reactive Library.

What will we do to learn? We will:
- Remind ourselves of the sense and importance of Reactive Streams Specification;
- Implement essential parts of the reactive library - Publisher;
- Find a toolkit which will help in the verification of the implementation;
- Iteratively follow all the rules of Reactive Streams and implement the correct solution;
- Build a couple of operators, like Map, PublishOn etc.
- Compare our solution with the existing modern ones.
