Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is designed to deal with events as a stream of values over time rather than as a series of unique responses to discrete changes in state, and in this book Stephen Blackheath and Anthony Jones look at how FRP can keep logic tidy and improve event handling code with no loss of expressiveness.

Practical case studies are given in greenfield and legacy code, with examples from many application domains using both Java and JavaScript.

• Think differently about data and events
• FRP techniques for Java and JavaScript
• Eliminate Observer one listener at a time
• Explore Sodium, RxJS, and Kefir.js FRP systems
