Introducing RxJS - Reactive Extensions for JavaScript

Posted By: Charles | Mar 19th @ 12:11 PM | 59,065 Views | 14 Comments

Reactive Extensions for Javascript have arrived. Hello RxJS!! 

You can now use Rx combinators in JavaScript. RxJS provides easy to use conversions from existing DOM, XmlHttpRequest and jQuery events to Rx push-collections, allowing users to seamlessly plug Rx into their existing JavaScript-based web sites. Great. What does this mean, exactly? As you know by now, Rx is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable collections.

Here, Rx developer Jeffrey Van Gogh explains (and demonstrates) what you can do with RxJS, how he ported Rx to JavaScript and more.

Hmm, it seems currently the Internet tubes are clogged. The download speed doesn't exceed 25 KB/s.

Same problems here. By the way, skipping to another point in the video in the silverlight viewer has never worked reliably for me. Per skip there's a high probablity that it hangs, and then you have to reload. Is that just me, or other people too?

I don't usually have too much trouble at home.  At work I get the media failure message a lot, but that only started happening about 6 months ago.  However, over this last week Channel9 seems to be getting less responsive overall, and I am having lots more trouble with the videos and it's been really slow to even post a message.

 

Update:  I downloaded the small WMV but it stops dead at 4:35.
