Mitch Wheat - Treat the cause, not the symptoms!

Join us at the Perth .NET user group, Thurs May 12^th (6pm) where Lee Campbell and James Miles join up to present an Introduction to Rx, aka the .NET Reactive Extensions. Rx is a product from Erik Meijer's team at Microsoft that allows you to compose asynchronous and event based programs using observable collections and a Linq style syntax.

The presenters will guide you through the background and basics of Rx, and introduce you to the terminology that is peculiar to Rx. James and Lee will compare code written with and without Rx and show case code to demonstrate the power of Rx in the areas of resource management, fluent and familiar Linq syntax, composable nature, testability of asynchronous and concurrent queries, and the and the ability to tame side effects.
