| Presentation Title: |
Becoming a RX Pusher with the Reactive Extensions |
| Presentation Overview: |
With the emergence of LINQ, we discovered the power and flexibility that comes from the IEnumerable interface. This pull model makes iterating over sets of data and performing filtering, transformation, and aggregation operations easy through LINQ. However, the pull model breaks down in asynchronous and event driven environments. In evaluating the options, we discovered that the IObserverable interface and the push model were effectively analogous to the pull model of IEnumerable. As a result, we can make event driven asynchronous programming easier and more declarative by using the Reactive Framework and LINQ to Events. |
