DESCRIPTION

Modern applications are constantly sending, receiving, and reacting to

streams of data including internal messages, user and system events, and

sensor input. Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a .NET library that abstracts

away the sources of events and provides tools to effectively manage

concerns like concurrency, scalability, error handling, and performance.

Rx includes more than 600 operators with variants that can composed

together to build reactive client and server-side applications that handle

events asynchronously in a way that maximizes responsiveness, resiliency,

and elasticity.

how to build event-driven applications using the Rx library. First, it

provides an overview of the design and architecture of Rx-based reactive

applications. Then, it looks at the rich query capabilities that Rx provides

and the Rx concurrency model that allows developers to control

asynchronicity of code and processing of event handlers. The book also

discusses consuming event streams, using schedulers to manage time, and

working with Rx operators to filter, transform, and group events. Readers

new to Rx will be able to learn from the ground up and those using Rx will

get a deeper look at how to leverage Rx in existing reactive applications.

* Step-by-step guide

* Real life examples using Rx

AUDIENCE

Readers should understand OOP concepts and be comfortable coding in

C#.
