Exception Handling in Functional and Reactive Programming

Functional and reactive programming is gaining popularity and use. One hurdle developers face using these approaches is exception handling. Dealing with exceptions in these styles is confusing in the beginning and is often messy and error-prone. In this presentation, we will step back and take a closer look at exception handling, its role in functional and reactive programming, and discuss the dos and don'ts for exception handling. We will learn using concrete examples and live coding to illustrate the problem and the possible solutions.
