On .NET Live - Common usage patterns for Reactive Extensions

Reactive extensions (Rx) provides a collection of API for asynchronous programming with observable streams... but what does that even mean? What do we use it for?

In this session, we'll be joined by Michael Stonis who will help us figure out how to add Rx to our application and also show us some common usage patterns.

I have worked somewhat with RxJS within the context of Angular. I feel that Reactive Extensions is such an undervalued toolset for most developers. However, it takes a very different mindset compared to an imperative style of thinking. It took me almost a month before it really started to understand the value and power of Rx. This was a really good intro into Reactive Extensions. I do hope that You do a follow up with even more complex scenarios. Thats where Rx really shines. Show us some debounce and switchMap.

Good talk! I’d like to see more sessions about RX

I'm starting studing now on how to use the Hybrid app(I think the future Is multi platform), I like a lot this extension I hope this Is compatibile with razor pages.
Anyway I like a lot how Microsoft thinked on what people need more.

at 35:10 the code is kind of not right, the firstName and lastName are not really being used, that why the demo is not seems responsive. classic "Copy & Paste" mistake

When the firstName and lastName are available as local variable, why do we need to access the textbox property to get the same values?

I really wish I had someone that knew what they was doing help me out real quick because I don't get what I am trying to do with ajax. I don't understand how to use it with c# stuff. Someone on stack overflow tried helping me but it didn't work. Someone on Csharp corner just basically added stuff that was somewhere else but no one is explaining anything.

So much much boilerplate for something that take 10 lines of code with an MVU
