Rxswift And Rxcocoa Hands-On

RxSwift and RxCocoa for beginners

What you'll learn
The lectures, videos and other resources will provide you with relevant information about reactive programming
You will learn how to use RxSwift and RxCocoa to develop better iOS apps
Since we’ll be using Xcode extensively throughout this course, you’ll get to improve your Xcode knowledge
You will get practical experience by using playgrounds for all the concepts explained in the lectures
You will learn how to transform a traditional app into a reactive one and evolve it further on through a mini series of episodes that support the lectures
And last but not least, you’ll get several Practical assignments and a final quiz to test your knowledge
Requirements
A Mac computer
Xcode
CocoaPods
An interest in improving yourself
Patience and a lot of perseverance to “try harder”
Description
Reactive programming was born as a way of meeting the developers’ constant struggle with the explosion in both the number of internet users and the technology powering apps. It’s not something new, yet an entirely different way of thinking, so many devs find it hard to cope with. Yet, once mastered, it offers many compelling benefits among which cleaner, more readable code base, easier to handle complex threading, and smoother, more responsive user experience.As the name suggests, we will cover the RxSwift and RxCocoa frameworks, learning new concepts in a practical hands-on approach. With these in mind, let’s see the topics that we will cover:Reactive Mindset. Observables and ObserversSubjects and TraitsOperators (filter, transform & combining)Handling errors & debuggingSchedulers+ Playgrounds & Build an IOS app reactivelyThis course is tailored for beginners in the reactive programming way of thinking and devs that aim to refresh their knowledge of RxSwift and RxCocoa. We will understand together the main concepts behind the reactive languages and the particularities of the RxSwift and RxCocoa frameworks. We will insist on "Why?" teams adopt the reactive way of developing apps, since we consider that it's important for students to understand WHAT we're trying to achieve and WHY.As pre-requisites for this class, you’ll need a Mac with Xcode installed, CocoaPods and previous knowledge of Swift programming language. Please see the links in the References slide of the lecture, if you need help configuring your environment. I recommend to take the latest versions whenever possible.To get the most out of this course, I advise to exercise all the steps described within the lectures and whenever a concept or idea is not fully explained or clearly understood, either reach out with questions on the Q&A section or consult online resources.
