Recently, to facilitate more friends to understand all aspects of RxJava fully, Tony Shen, Merculet’s Head of Mobile Development wrote the book “RxJava 2.x in Action” according to the many years of R&D experience himself had.

“RxJava 2.x in Action” was endorsed by Kan Yu, Chief Data Scientist of Branch Metrics and Jiabei Lei, Google LensTech Leader. The book is published by China Publishing House of Electronics Industry and is currently available for pre-sale on Taobao, JD, Dangdang, Amazon and other e-commerce platforms.

The 18 chapters of the book cover the concepts of reactive programming, functional programming, the advantages and applications of RxJava.

Reactive programming is also used in Merculet. Merculet currently has two major products on the mobile side, one is the User Attention Wallet App, and the other is the UAV SDK. Merculet’s User Attention Wallet is the first app that manages and empowers the user’s attention value, helping to close the cap in between virtual and real-life consumption scenarios.

reactive programming was introduced, using RxJava and RxSwift on Android and iOS respectively. With Rx, on the one hand, the thread switching is simplified, and on the other hand, asynchronous events of nested callbacks, filtering and transformation of complex lists can be handled conveniently.

We believe that the User Attention Wallet will carry more mission, more details will be shared at the product release event.

Tony Shen obtains his master degree in computer software and theory. He has more than eight years of mobile development experience. He was responsible for Jingdong’s Shanghai-based mobile team and participated in the development of the Hotel Tonight Special App, Decarta Map SDK, and Guevara App. He has many years of server-side development experience, and he was responsible for the back-end team of Jingdong Travel Cruises Business Department. He is also familiar with function-reactive programming, understands computer vision, and has always paid attention to distributed ledger and blockchain economy. He was responsible for the architecture and development of a mobile technology solutions SDK; his duties included the realization of deep link (deferred deeplink); mobile-side original advertising; information flow advertising; SDK security, and research and development of tailoring third-party frameworks. Currently, Tony Shen is responsible for the blockchain related User Attention Wallet and the related UAV SDK.

“I started to pay attention to RxJava and reactive programming since 2015. There was insufficient information online at that time. Three years later, we can now witness more and more applications using Rx-related technologies.”

According to Tony Shen: “This book is suitable for RxJave beginners; developers who do not understand reactive programming. Getting familiar with RxJava might be difficult. Combing my learning and application experience, I try to help everyone to learn RxJava with simple language. Meanwhile, this book consists of sufficient examples, ranging from Android development to Java backend development. I believe these examples can help readers feel the charm of Rx Java. In the end, I would like to thank the company and colleagues for their support and help. “RxJava 2.x in Action” is not only my effort but also the embodiment of the cohesion of the Merculet team.”
