Principles of Vertx (2nd edition)

How to build reactive applications and be happy

About the Book

This is the second edition of the popular “Principles of Vertx” book. The work was completely rewritten in order to promote new programming paradigms, that we introduced by the fourth release (Vertx 4.x). Unlike other existing publications about the Vertx platform, this book took as its priority to introduce readers to established software architecture practices and their implementations using Vertx. The book uses a project driven approach and it covers Eclipse Vertx 4.x features.
