TPDP008: Asynchronous and Event-Based Programming with RxJS

The Polyglot Developer Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Ben Lesh, a senior software engineer at Netflix. Ben is one of the lead developers for RxJS, a reactive extension set for JavaScript, and a core component in the software stack at Netflix. Here we discuss everything from what is RxJS, to how it differs from common promises and callbacks in JavaScript. We also discuss who is using it and how it is playing a critical role in Angular 2.
