Reactive programming allows you to turn those aspects of your code that are currently imperative into something much more event-driven and flexible. For this reason, it’s sometimes referred to as LINQ for Events.

This book shows you how reactive programming can be applied to a range of situations—from WPF applications to Windows Phone apps—to improve coding efficiency and boost performance.

What you’ll learn:

• How to create, debug and manage reactive extensions in many situations
  
• The observer pattern and how it can be applied to your projects
  
• How to avoid spaghetti code by using Rx to manage your asynchronous methods
  
• How to use SelectMany to explore the heart of the Reactive Extensions
  
• How to come to grips with the reactive user interface framework for building both small and large applications
