O&amp;rsquo;Reilly recently reached out to me to write a small report / mini-book about reactive systems and architectures. The report is structured around explaining the various aspects of Reactive. Tracking it&amp;rsquo;s origins, through Reactive Programming (in chapter 2 &amp;ldquo;Reactive on the Application level&amp;rdquo;) and Reactive Systems (in chapter 3 &amp;ldquo;Reactive on the System level&amp;rdquo;).
The book does not focus on any single implementation or library, and rather discusses the conceptual goals, benefits and trade-offs such architectures bring with them.</description></item><item><title>SCKRK - 100 meetings, 96 whitepapers, 5 years and more...</title><link>http://kto.so/posts/sckrk-100-meetings-96-whitepapers-5-years-and-more/</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://kto.so/posts/sckrk-100-meetings-96-whitepapers-5-years-and-more/</guid><description>This post was originally written on 16 May 2016.
Over the last years I&amp;rsquo;ve been had the privilege of traveling quite a bit and been able to attend various conferences and user group meetings in various countries. Yet, I&amp;rsquo;m still to find another as awesome and life-changing (sic, not an over-statement) group as SCKRK – yet, you&amp;rsquo;ve probably never heard of it. Which is not surprising really since it&amp;rsquo;s a local and technically speaking small initiative.</description></item></channel></rss>
