Following the finale of the Knowing your RxJava Operator Toolbelt series, you’d think that we’ve covered a huge part of the RxJava ecosystem, but well eurghuehue. C’est wrong! RxJava’s operators are only the surface of the library. Let’s go back to the roots of how RxJava describes itself on its website: A library for composing asynchronous…

RxJava is an ever increasing-in-demand tool for developers of many platforms even beyond Android. Its most attractive feature comes in the form of performing async operations without the use of callbacks. Instead, Observables and Observers are used in conjunction to emit data (once or multiple times) and include methods of their own to handle what…

RxFirestoreKT is a great library for combining RxJava (Kotlin) and Firestore together, but what I noticed about Firestore is that it already contains many of RxJava’s advantages as it is. Firestore works asynchronously, it can map documents to POJO objects, and can keep a continuous stream of data flowing, handles errors well, and it does…

If there’s one thing programmers like to do around Christmas time, it’s to compose the cringiest lyrics to sing on top of familiar Christmas songs.

If you know my man Sam Stern who’s popped up a couple times around my Reddit, you probably heard his talk with Kiana McNellis on Integrating back-end systems with Firebase for better app management. This sparked an idea for what could be a new series here on this blog, Firebase In Use where I go over…
