Description:

In webcast number two in the series Ian Griffiths, author of Programming C# 5.0 discusses Asynchronous systems and their complexity. The new language features for dealing with them in C# 5.0 are only half of the story: library support is also essential. The Reactive Extensions for .NET (or Rx, as they're usually known) use simple but well thought out abstraction for representing streams of events and subscribers. These are the basis for an extensive and powerful set of operators for using, processing, combining, and orchestrating streams of events from multiple independent sources. These include all the standard LINQ operators, which is why Rx is sometimes known as LINQ to Events, but it has a much larger repertoire than any other LINQ provider. Don't miss this informative webcast presentation.
