About the Book

With Swift and its features the Reactive programming has become even more powerful. This book will introduce you to RP with Swift using ReactiveCocoa. You'll learn about the core ideas of RP and how to apply them on real examples Swift developers have to face every day in our projects: Accessing local data, interacting with remote API, react to user actions, .... The book provides a lot of examples in a project that you can run and test on your own. If you had ever thought about learning RP but you didn't, this book is the perfect opportunity to start with it.
