We will be using Java 8 and Kotlin 1.1.50 for the programs in this book, so Oracle's JDK 1.8 along with Kotlin 1.1.50 (this can be skipped downloading if you're using IntelliJ IDEA) will be required. You will need an environment to write and compile your Kotlin code (I strongly recommend Intellij IDEA, but you can use anything of your choice), and preferably a build automation system such as Gradle or Maven. Later in this book, we will use Android Studio (2.3.3 or 3.0). Everything you need in this book should be free to use and not require commercial or personal licensing (we are using the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition).

Overview of this book
In today's app-driven era, when programs are asynchronous, and responsiveness is so vital, reactive programming can help you write code that's more reliable, easier to scale, and better-performing. Reactive programming is revolutionary.
With this practical book, Kotlin developers will first learn how to view problems in the reactive way, and then build programs that leverage the best features of this exciting new programming paradigm. You will begin with the general concepts of Reactive programming and then gradually move on to working with asynchronous data streams. You will dive into advanced techniques such as manipulating time in data-flow, customizing operators and provider and how to use the concurrency model to control asynchronicity of code and process event handlers effectively.
You will then be introduced to functional reactive programming and will learn to apply FRP in practical use cases in Kotlin. This book will also take you one step forward by introducing you to Spring 5 and Spring Boot 2 using Kotlin. By the end of the book, you will be able to build real-world applications with reactive user interfaces as well as you'll learn to implement reactive programming paradigms in Android.
