Visit the Reactive Extensions DevLabs page to download and learn more about Rx. en Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:08:06 GMT Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:08:06 GMT Rev9 Re: Rx API in depth: Hot and Cold observables I'm amazed there don't appear to be any so-called early-access / alpha books on Rx coming from Manning or APress. At least they're not listed yet. I'd really like to find something longer than 'just' a couple of blog postings that really digs into specifically Rx and reactive programming in general in .NET. These videos are great and I'm very grateful they're being make available, however for study purposes nothing beats the one-to-one, deep dive that the printed word delivers. Does anyone know when we might see a Rx book?

Cold = Not Running

 

Static/Dynamic would be misleading.  Immutable/Mutable is also misleading.  Perhaps, the closest terms are Deferred / Not-Deferred or Latent / Active.

 

The terms Hot and Cold came from whiteboarding and design sessions where we needed a term to describe the difference between something that running versus something that represents a thing that can be run.  We definitely didn't sit down and figure out a vocabulary, these things just happen.  I'm sure that at some point in time people will think about standard terminology, but we usually can't wait for that to happen.

As Wes mentioned above, I like to think of them as 

Hot = Active

Cold = Passive.

 

I think we can do better than the explanation JVG gives here.

Here is my post on Hot vs Cold Observables.
