RX Java with Kotlin in Baby Steps
summary
Covers the concrete bits needed to start using RxJava with Kotlin: the actual APIs for Observable, Observer, Operator, working examples of map(), flatMap(), filter() and how Kotlin lambdas shrink subscribe calls into a single-line consumer. Demonstrates hot versus cold observables, create/just/interval factories, schedulers for choosing threads, and a flatMap pattern that fetches posts per user asynchronously. Argues RxJava is a tool not a silver bullet and shows the subscribe lifecycle and disposables.
