#Top 7 reasons you need to learn reactive programming The U s. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 22 percent growth in programming jobs in by 2020.

Programming##Micro Colleges##have sprung up in over#40 cities with Davinci Coders in Boulder, Colorado rated##top value##with its beginner-based, 11-week, full-immersion program for $6, 000.
And now the newest trend reactive programming is rocking the developer community exciting tech giants like Netflix and inspiring a whole new crop of innovative startups.
What is reactive programming? Spreadsheet cell formulas are hands-down the best example of reactive programming.
Cells#react#to changes in the data they reference automatically. For example, A b c means that no matter what happens to B
or an architect, you need to get savvy about how reactive programming concepts are going to radically transform the industry.
#You already know how#traditional procedural programming#(imperative) works. A business user has need a and creates a spec for the programmer.
reactive programming lets computers take care of dependency management rather than leaving that work to the programmers.
That means 500 lines of old-school coding shrinks to five lines using reactive programming. 3. Keep up with changes In our hyper-competitive environment,
Reactive programming means changes can be made without worrying about logic ordering. Ordering is the main cost-component of traditional programming,
requiring significant analysis for each change. Just like the simplest spreadsheet, reactive programming means logic is ordered automatically based on dependencies
4. Improve code quality Traditional code is error prone. It must not only be correct; it must be called.
Reactive logic is applied automatically to all changes it s the next level up in reuse beyond object-oriented programming. 5. The big kids are into it Microsoft#led the effort#by releasing Rx extensions to its.
And now Gartner has included reactive programming in its#newest report#on the hottest application developmenttrends of 2013.6.
Reactive programming opens up a whole new era of communication and collaboration between IT and business users.
When implemented correctly, reactive programming is the ultimate nirvana. Those 500 lines of code are distilled away,
#75%of Chinese consumers interested in buying wearables devices The market size of Chinese wearable devices could reach $1. 87 billion by 2015.
One of the most anticipated digital products, after smartphones and tablets is wearable devices, even though manufacturers still have a long way to go to commercialize them.#
##Giving no consideration to prices, 49.3 percent and 46.6 percent of the customers may purchase smart bracelets and smart watches, two main categories of wearable devices, respectively,
According to the report, 48.1 percent of the users hope wearable devices can help them to keep fit and 37 percent want to use them to overcome laziness and implement sports plans.
Customers look forward to more appsdedicated to wearable devices rather than apps already available on smartphone. Wearable devices already released by Chinese manufacturers include Shanda s Geak Watch,#Qihoo s 360 Child Guard,#T-Watch,#inwatch,
and#CWATCH, among others. The future wearable device market has abundant manufacturers, but lacks a common platform, like Androidand ios for smartphones,
