How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality MP4 (iPad, PC)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
What is Reactive Extensions? What is reactive programming? How is it used in the real world?
Welcome to the Rx Workshop! Rx developers (they design and implement Rx) Wes Dyer and Bart De Smet will guide you through a series of sessions that will get you up to speed with Rx fundamentals rather quickly. Tune in!
See the rest of the Rx Workshop tutorials.

Thank you!! Looking forward to seeing more expisodes
@scyonx: You can see them all here: http://channel9.msdn.com/series/Rx-Workshop

The link to Workshop-Schedulers is wrong.
The link leads to http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Rx-Workshop/Rx-Workshop-SchedulersRx but the correctly is http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Rx-Workshop/Rx-Workshop-Schedulers
@Joao Carlos Clementoni: Thanks. Fixed!

I am a huge fan of Rx,.. this is great!
Ah, something to do this long weekend. Thanks!
There will be more segments in the future. For now, do the challenges and share your good deeds with the rest of us!

The coding is not clearly visible in the video
Dear two,
How does Rx compare with Dryad?
Thanks!
1.0 wohoo!
Things are looking very polished indeed.
Now what's the deal with Ix?
You guys got the ordering of the episodes a little mixed up.
I've been thinking about taking a look at the Reactive Extensions for a while now. Having this in video format is pretty convenient for me. Thanks guys for the effort you put into this
@Angshuman: That's due to Silverlight-Not-So-Smooth-Streaming based on your networking conditions. I highly recommend you download the High Quality versions (WMV or MP4) and view locally.

@exoteric: Ix has shipped again with improved operator parity, some extensions, and some cleanup. More information here.
Yeah really this video is a good start...
So,
what's the deal with RxJS? It seems to have stopped evolving around end 2010, it's not obsoleted yet not maintained either?
Congratulations on the official release!
In the hello world example, how in the heck does Console.ReadLine() publish events for the event stream being subscribed to?
In the later demos using the ISubject<> interface, it's pretty obvious how publishing and subscribing actions are bound together.
In the hello world demo, it seems like a little bit of magic is being used.
@bart Didn't the used to be a Run method? I like that a lot. Great for testing purposes.
By the way, what kind of "cleaner testing methods" that Wes briefly mentioned do you use internally? Just curious.
@exoteric: You'll find out a great deal about lx soon. Just recorded a conversation with Bart (seated and then whiteboarding) where he provides his usual detailed and clear explanation of concepts. Bart digs into lx and more (including the current state of IQbservable).
Stay tuned.

@exoteric The "cleaner testing methods" are just extension methods that we use to make the test code more terse. They do not extend the semantics. We designed Microsoft.Reactive.Testing to be similar to other Microsoft testing libraries even if it meant slightly more verbose code.
The only magic in the "Hello, world!" demo is that we hadn't yet introduced any operators and yet we use a few. We wanted to show running code before we dived into the details. Hence the "magic".
Are there any "official" followups to the challenge, with an explanation of the solution?
I'm really new to delegates and events and get very confused when lambdas and anonymous methods and the "virtual add/remove" structure are thrown into the mix!
Can anyone help? I want to learn but this is making me nuts and I don't know where to start.
Awesome! I was hoping you guys would post this. Looks like it has some excellent updates!
@aaron_brown99: I'm not sure if the challenges have changed, but some were presented at ALT.NET Seattle, and the code is available at http://rxworkshop.codeplex.com/.
