Rx.NET in Action With examples in C#

SummaryRx.NET in Action teaches developers how to build event-driven applications using the Reactive Extensions (Rx) library.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyModern applications must react to streams of data such as user and system events, internal messages, and sensor input. Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a .NET library containing more than 600 operators that you can compose together to build reactive client- and server-side applications to handle events asynchronously in a way that maximizes responsiveness, resiliency, and elasticity.About the BookRx.NET in Action teaches developers how to build event-driven applications using the Rx library. Starting with an overview of the design and architecture of Rx-based reactive applications, you'll get hands-on with in-depth code examples to discover firsthand how to exploit the rich query capabilities that Rx provides and the Rx concurrency model that allows you to control both the asynchronicity of your code and the processing of event handlers. You'll also learn about consuming event streams, using schedulers to manage time, and working with Rx operators to filter, transform, and group events.What's InsideIntroduction to Rx in C#Creating and consuming streams of data and eventsBuilding complex queries on event streamsError handling and testing Rx codeAbout the ReaderReaders should understand OOP concepts and be comfortable coding in C#.About the AuthorTamir Dresher is a senior software architect at CodeValue and a prominent member of Israel's Microsoft programming community.Table of ContentsPART 1 - GETTING STARTED WITH REACTIVE EXTENSIONSReactive programmingHello, RxFunctional thinking in C#PART 2 - CORE IDEASCreating observable sequencesCreating observables from .NET asynchronous typesControlling the observer-observable relationshipControlling the observable temperatureWorking with basic query operatorsPartitioning and combining observablesWorking with Rx concurrency and synchronizationError handling and recoveryAPPENDIXESWriting asynchronous code in .NETThe Rx Disposables libraryTesting Rx queries and operators
