Asynchronous programming does not make the code faster than the synchronous version, but resource utilization is optimized and it's easier to scale.

Spring uses the project Reactor as the implementation of the Reactive Streams Specification.

Reactive Streams specification contains 4 interfaces: Publisher, Subscriber, Subscription and Processor.

We mainly use Mono, Flux and StepVerifier when working with Spring WebFlux and the project Reactor.

Mono produces 0..1 item.

Flux produces 0..N items.

StepVerifier is used to test Mono and Flux, mainly.

Both Mono and Flux implements Publisher.

RxJava2|Reactor => Observable|Flux, Single|Mono.

We can create Flux and Mono from methods like .just(), fromIterable() and many other from*() methods.

Spring Framework 5 requires Java 8.

Spring WebFlux uses Netty server by default.

Up to this day, there is not reactive implementations for JDBC drivers.

Spring WebFlux provides an annotation-based programming model where @Controller and @RestController components use annotations to express request mappings, request input, exception handling, and more.

Spring WebFlux includes a lightweight, functional programming model in which functions are used to route and handle requests and contracts are designed for immutability. It is an alternative to the annotated-based programming model but otherwise running on the same Reactive Spring Web foundation.

The spring-webflux module includes a reactive, non-blocking client for HTTP requests with a functional-style API client and Reactive Streams support called WebClient (AsyncRestTemplate has been deprecated).

Writing in the electronic world you imagine a sound and then you have to go and find it. Its not like imagining a flute and then making that sound materialize. Thats easy

I have just discovered the beautiful poetry of Soren Ulrik Thomsen. Danish is not the strongest of languages, but he uses it very well.

Volatility may be rising simply because investors must digest more information every day.

In Mallrats, you pretty much don't see him sell any weed, really. I don't consider him a big dealer.

One of the things that Dostoevsky talks about is that no character is too high to fall and no character is too low to be redeemed. 'Crime and Punishment' began with a person going out and consciously becoming a cold-blooded murderer, and it took 800 pages and an epilogue before the person finally asked for forgiveness.

I try to spend a lot of time with people outside my direct reports. The view from the top is totally distorted. If you only spend time with your directs, you have no perspective on what's really going on.

The reason that man is seldom satisfied with his salary is that when it increases, he increases his expenses.

Necessity is laid upon us. We must fight. There are no promises in the Lord Jesus Christ's epistles to the seven churches, except to those who 'overcome.' Where there is grace, there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without a warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight.

Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.

Agape is the catalyst that makes value appear in anything.

For every fact there is an infinity of hypotheses.

I thought acknowledging praise meant you were arrogant, but I've learned that knowing your strengths enables you to make use of them.

For my Ph.D. thesis, I was measuring the electrical activity that triggers light emission from a bioluminescent dinoflagellate. As I was nearing the completion of my degree, my major professor wrote a grant for an instrument for measuring the color of very dim light flashes from bioluminescent animals.

I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.

Ninety percent of my roles, I've had to fight for. It's only a really small percentage of people who get handed roles.
