End to End Reactive Programming at Netflix
54:31
Summary
In this talk Jafar Husain and Matthew Podwysocki explore the Reactive Extensions (Rx) library which allows us to treat events as collections. You'll learn about how Netflix uses Rx on the client and the server, allowing us to build end-to-end reactive systems. The speakers also contrast Rx with Promises, another popular approach to building asynchronous programs in Javascript.
