Concurrency is the art of doing several things at the same time, correctly and efficiently.

Examples of everyday concurrency in applications include keeping the user interface responsive while other activities are happening, and processing hundreds of customers’ orders efficiently.

We’ll first introduce the Observable pipeline, a technique to chain Observable operators and pass state between them. Then I’ll show you how to use the pipeline to build programs ...
