Netflix JavaScript Talks - Async JavaScript with Reactive Extensions

Jafar Husain shares how Netflix uses the Reactive Extensions (Rx) library to build responsive user experiences that strive to be event-driven, scalable and resilient. Learn the power of the Observable and how Netflix has simplified code through the ability to filter, aggregate, compose and project data streams.

This talk discusses how Netflix uses Rx to:
- Declaratively build complex events out of simple events (ex. drag and drop)
- Coordinate and sequence multiple Ajax requests
- Reactively update the UI in response to data changes
- Eliminate memory leaks caused by neglecting to unsubscribe from events
- Gracefully propagate and handle asynchronous exceptions

Thank you. This was a great presentation. I’m just picking up RxJs in a work project and I didn’t have faith why the library’s Observables and other functionality provide superior capabilities. This is just the kind of talk I was looking to be engaging and provide a good range of examples. Thanks for sharing this video, folks; I now have more confidence in useful ways I could use RxJs.
