Mastering Reactive Extensions with C# and .NET

This course covers Reactive Extensions, a technology for working with streams of data in a reactive fashion. With Reactive Extensions, you can ingest, filter analyze and re-broadcast data streams. You can also build your own components which generate reactive streams for others to produce.

Reactive Extensions started its life as a .NET technology, but has since been ported to every other language imaginable, including even JavaScript. This course shows how Rx can be used specifically with C# and .NET.

Topics Covered

• The reactive paradigm and push collections
• Key Rx operators
• Rx's Subject classes that help working with observable sequences
• Fundamental Stream Operators
• Advanced Stream Operators, including operations on multiple streams

• Presented in Visual Studio 2017 
• Every lesson comes with a single-file demo 
• End-of-section quizzes are available

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students should:

• Understand the use of reactive sequences
• Appreciate key observable/observer .NET interfaces and how to use them
• Efficiently use Subject classes for setting up simple scenarios
• Apply single-stream operators, including operators involving time
• Apply advanced operators, including multi-stream operators
