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.
Reactive Extensions in .NET is a step-by-step guide that shows developers
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.
KEY FEATURES
• Step-by-step guide
• Real life examples using Rx
• Great for readers both new to Rx and those already using Rx
AUDIENCE
Readers should understand OOP concepts and be comfortable coding in
C#.
