In this episode, Jesse Liberty explains how Reactive Extensions work with Silverlight and Windows Phone. In order to simplify the code, Jesse suggests using Reactive Extensions whenever you are deep into using asynchronous programming. He covers exactly what Reactive Extensions are, why you'd want to use them (or not), how they relate to LINQ, and what you should know before using them. And of course, Jesse offers some tips and tricks.

Great video. Very simple. Should help a lot of folks confused by RX. I know it helped me.
Great post. Can we use RX for silverlight application session timeout using mousemove event
Will we ever be able to do away with the UI thread? Or at least change C# to simplify the work of marshalling onto the UI thread.
I just want to say that this video has totally revolutionised the way I'm developing my current application. I'm now building a database and synchronization service around reactive extensions to allow the UI to always respond to new data as soon as it's available and to allow it to be automatically persisted without any need for the programmer to explicitly save data.
