LeeCampbell: Intro to Rx
The Reactive Extensions for .NET are probably still in the realm of “maybe yes, maybe no,” in terms of their overall impact (personally, I like the idea quite a bit), but a number of good tutorials are popping up around the Web. I like this series by Lee Campbell.
I’ve tried to write a lot about Rx, especially some of the more practical aspects of using it (I felt like many of the blog posts or tutorials on it were either too contrived, or very theoretical) – most of my posts are about integrating Rx with the WPF/Silverlight MVVM pattern in a library I call ReactiveXaml (http://bit.ly/reactivexaml) – my blog is a good read on the subject even if you’re not particularly interested in WPF or Silverlight and illustrates a lot of the problems that Rx solves really elegantly. The posts are at http://bit.ly/rxxamlblog – please check it out and if you have any questions about Rx or RxXaml, please mail me!
