RxJS in Action
RxJS in Action by Paul P. Daniels, published by Manning on August 4, 2017, is a comprehensive guide designed to equip developers with the skills necessary to create reactive applications using RxJS. This first edition spans 352 pages and is written in English. The book offers a blend of theoretical insights and practical examples, allowing readers to develop a solid understanding of reactive programming concepts and how they can be applied in real-world scenarios.
Readers will find a structured approach to mastering RxJS, starting with an introduction to stream-based programming and progressing through advanced topics such as error handling, unit testing, and integration with frameworks like React and Redux. The content emphasizes building clean, declarative applications while addressing asynchronous processes and stream manipulation. This resource is tailored for those familiar with JavaScript and standard web application architectures, making it a valuable addition to the library of any software developer interested in enhancing their programming capabilities.

About the Technology
On the web, events and messages flow constantly between UI and server components. With RxJS, you can filter, merge, and transform these streams directly, opening the world of data flow programming to browser-based apps. This JavaScript implementation of the ReactiveX spec is perfect for on-the-fly tasks like autocomplete. Its asynchronous communication model makes concurrency much, much easier.
About the Book
RxJS in Action is your guide to building a reactive web UI using RxJS. You’ll begin with an intro to stream-based programming as you explore the power of RxJS through practical examples. With the core concepts in hand, you’ll tackle production techniques like error handling, unit testing, and interacting with frameworks like React and Redux. And because RxJS builds on ideas from the world of functional programming, you’ll even pick up some key FP concepts along the way.
