Abstract: Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx) is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable collections.Rx is a superset of the standard LINQ sequence operators that exposes asynchronous and event-based computations as push-based, observable collections via the new .NET 4.0 interfaces IObservable<T> and IObserver<T>. This talk will introduce you to Rx and Bret will teach how to do complex event processing and asynchronous computations using LINQ queries over observable collections using Reactive Extensions.
