Book Description
Reactive programming is an effective way to build highly responsive applications with an easy-to-maintain code base. This book covers the essential functional reactive concepts that will help you build highly-concurrent, event-driven, and asynchronous applications in a simpler and less error-prone way.
This book will begin with a discussion on how event processing has been undertaken by different programming systems. After a breeze introduction to modern C++ (C++ 17), we will move to the language level concurrency and lock-free programming model to set the stage to foray into the Functional Programming model. After you've got all the pre-requisites to foray into the Functional Reactive Programming model, we will introduce RxCpp and its programming model. You will gain deep insight into the RxCpp library that facilitates reactive programming. This will be followed by dealing with Reactive Programming using Qt/C++ (for the desktop) and C++ microservices for the web.
By the end of the book, you will be well-versed with advanced reactive programming concepts in modern C++ (C++17).
