This module takes the reader into the heart of Java reactive programming where the power of RxJava shines. You will learn how to combine streams of emissions; cache, replay, and share them across several receivers; how to process the emitted data concurrently; switch, throttle, and buffer the stream; how to deal with backpressure; and how to create new operators.

The following chapters are included in this module:

Chapter 4, Combining Observables
Chapter 5, Multicasting, Replaying, and Caching
Chapter 6, Concurrency and Parallelization
Chapter 7, Switching, Throttling, Windowing, and Buffering
