Programming Promises in Java 8 Using Completable Futures

Both reactive and asynchronous apps are becoming more popular. But how do you build them? This course helps you apply the latest concurrency techniques to develop state of the art Java applications necessary for the microservices/service oriented architecture (SOA) model. This course builds on the theory of "Asynchronous Programming In Java", and refactors several projects using Java 8’s CompletableFutures. It explains CompletableFutures and discusses the problems they solve. Finally, it shows how to use the API in practice. This course is for Java developers and software architects.
