    Book Description

    If you are a Clojure developer who is interested in using Reactive Programming to build asynchronous and concurrent applications, this book is for you. Knowledge of Clojure and Leiningen is required. Basic understanding of ClojureScript will be helpful for the web chapters, although it is not strictly necessary.

    What you will learn

    • Understand the key abstractions of Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) and Compositional Event Systems (CES)
    • Discover how to think in terms of timevarying values and event streams
    • Create, compose, and transform Observable sequences with Reactive Extensions
    • Create a CES framework from scratch using core.async as its foundation
    • Build a simple ClojureScript game using Reagi
    • Integrate Om and RxJS in a web application
    • Implement a reactive API to Amazon Web Services
    • Discover approaches to backpressure and error handling
    • Get to grips with futures and learn where they fit in
