There are many approaches to writing software, but reactive programming is specifically designed for building real-time systems. In this session, we will delve into reactive programming principles and how they can help us build scalable, resilient, and high-performing backend systems. We will also explore the popular reactive programming library RxJava and show you how to write reactive code.

By the end of this session, you will have an understanding of the following concepts:

- The meaning of the term "reactive"
- What constitutes a reactive system
- Pros and cons of a reactive approach
- How to write reactive code using RxJava

Attend this session to learn how reactive programming can help you build systems that can handle the demands of modern software development.
