Learning Path: Complete Reactive Programming Guide with PHP - Udemy

Reactive programming helps us write code that is concise, clear, and readable. Combining the power of reactive programming and PHP enables you to create web applications more pragmatically. So, if you're a PHP developer and want to leverage the power of reactive programming, then go for this Learning Path.

Packt’s Video Learning Path is a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

The highlights of this Learning Path are:

●        Familiarize with definitions of typical programming paradigms such as imperative, asynchronous, functional, parallel, and reactive programming 

●        Build a chat manager, server, and client as three separate processes that communicate with each other via Unix sockets ●        Implement Gearman and Rabbit MQ for asynchronous communication

●        Learn the concepts of multicasting in RxPHP

Let's take a quick look at your learning journey. This Learning Path starts off by introducing reactive programming and then explaining the importance of building reactive applications. You’ll learn to use the RxPHP library to build a Reddit command line and also how to re-implement the Symfony3 EventDispatcher with RxPHP. Next, you’ll learn to test your RxPHP code by writing unit tests. You’ll then implement a websocket backend by developing a browser game. Moving on, you’ll focus on writing extendable RxPHP code by developing a code testing tool. Finally, you’ll learn to use RxPHP on both the server and client side of an application.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will have a thorough understanding of how to build effective PHP applications with reactive programming.
