If you've used Language-Integrated Query (LINQ), you've seen the power and flexibility of the IEnumerable interface. Sadly, this "pull" approach breaks down in asynchronous and event-driven environments. In this geekSpeak, LINQ guru and author Jim Wooley introduces us to the Reactive Extensions for Microsoft .NET and shows how to make event-driven asynchronous programming easier and more declarative by using the Reactive Framework and LINQ to Events. This geekSpeak is hosted by Glen Gordon and Peter Laudati.

The geekSpeak series brings you industry experts in a "talk-radio" format hosted by Microsoft developer evangelists. These experts share their knowledge and experience and answer your questions during the webcast. Visit the geekSpeak blog for resources or to ask a question before a live webcast.
