Summary
In this chapter, you learned the conceptual underpinnings of (functional) reactive programming, and how Microsoft Rx helps you to write reactive programs using a scheduler, observable interface, and LINQ. We have avoided API documentation in this book (as that is exhaustive and redundant considering the nature of this book). We urge you to refer to the ReactiveX website (http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators), MSDN, interactive Rx illustrations website (http://rxmarbles.com), and the online book Introduction to Rx by Lee Campbell (http://www.introtorx.com) for specifics and usage examples on the various operators that we have discussed. In the following chapters, we will see detailed examples in C# and JavaScript-based functional reactive programs.
