Introduction to Functional Reactive Programming
by Dan Lew | at MinneBar 12
Functional reactive programming (FRP) and reactive libraries (e.g. RxJava, Rx.NET, RxJS, Reactive Cocoa, RxSwift) are all the rage these days... but you don't know why! I'm here to help. In this talk I'll walk through the core concepts of reactive streams, functional programming, and why you may want to use these patterns in your software.
While the code samples will be in Java, the concepts discussed are applicable to FRP as it exists in any language.
