Java , Java 8 and RxJava

Hello programmers...!!!.Today we'll have our conversation on something "Advanced".You know Java.You know Java ...,5,6,7.But what on earth is Java 8 and RxJava. Java 8,as the name suggests,the 8th update of the super awesome Java language.The problem is RxJava...something new right?? Okay without further delay we'll discuss about the topic.
As I already said Java 8 is the latest revolutionary release of Java. There are many useful and awesome new features included in Java 8 which make our life easier and less complicated. Following you can identify some of the main changes which have taken place in the latest release.
  • Lamda Expressions(Oracle we don't need this.We have Python)
  • Reapeating annotations
  • Improvements in Collection class
  • Performance improvement for HashMap
  • Integration of Stream API to the Collections API
  • New Stream API
  • New Date/Time API
  • Nashron new Javascript engine (Rhino to Nashron)
  • Method references
  • Default Methods
  • Improved type Interface
  • Strong algorithms for password based encryption
  • Client side TLS 1.2 enabled by default
  • IO and NIO enhancements
  • Atomic package and ForkJoinPool for reliable threading.
  • Parallel array sorting
  • Standard encoding and decoding Base64
  • Unsigned arithmetic support
  • Unicode handling enhancements and more..
Wow that's one hell of an improvement.At this point you may have no idea about some of the terms discussed,but at the end of this tutorial set you can get a 100% understanding about the points mentioned above.Now as we are in an overview like session we'll first talk a bit about RxJava and move to the detailed explanations of  the topics we have already come across.So what's RxJava.
As the documentation says "RxJava is a Java VM implementation of Reactive Extensions: a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences." The main idea here is that without separating data into categories, RxJava is going to treat all the data as observable sequences and perform actions on those sequences and get the output from a seeker which called as an Observer.So we have observables and an observer  and once the observing is finished we are done and we can get the output.Cool right..!!!You may not fully understand why RxJava is so important and why it's super awesome right at this point.But when we are doing the practicals you 'll completely understand the beauty of RxJava. Pay attention to the the image below.

As you can see RxJava is beneficial for handle highly threaded environment with 100% satisfaction of thread safety,reliability and performance.We can reduce thousand lines of code which we have written in native Java for handle dynamic environments for few lines with the help of this new reactive extension.Okay people..!!!!!.Grab a beer and calm down.We are about to learn two of the most beautiful things in the world.JAVA8 and RXJAVA.
