Before covering some history and background behind Reactive Programming and CES, I would like to open with a working, and hopefully compelling, example: an animation in which we draw a sine wave onto a web page.
The sine wave is simply a graphical representation of the sine function. It is a smooth, repetitive oscillation, and at the end of our animation, it will look like what's shown in the following screenshot:
This example will highlight how CES does the following:
- Urges us to think about what we would like to do as opposed to how
- Encourages small, specific abstractions that can be composed together
- Produces ...
