In this chapter, you learned the conceptual underpinnings of (functional) reactive programming, and how Microsoft Rx helps you to write reactive programs using a scheduler, observable interface, and LINQ. We have avoided API documentation in this book (as that is exhaustive and redundant considering the nature of this book). We urge you to refer to the ReactiveX website (http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators), MSDN, interactive Rx illustrations website (http://rxmarbles.com), and the online book Introduction to Rx by Lee Campbell (http://www.introtorx.com) for specifics and usage examples on the various operators that we have discussed. In the following chapters, we will see detailed examples in C# and JavaScript-based functional reactive programs.

Overview of this book
Knowing about design patterns enables developers to improve their code base, promoting code reuse and making their design more robust.
This book focuses on the practical aspects of programming in .NET. You will learn about some of the relevant design patterns (and their application) that are most widely used. We start with classic object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques, evaluate parallel programming and concurrency models, enhance implementations by mixing OOP and functional programming, and finally to the reactive programming model where functional programming and OOP are used in synergy to write better code.
Throughout this book, we’ll show you how to deal with architecture/design techniques, GoF patterns, relevant patterns from other catalogs, functional programming, and reactive programming techniques.
After reading this book, you will be able to convincingly leverage these design patterns (factory pattern, builder pattern, prototype pattern, adapter pattern, facade pattern, decorator pattern, observer pattern and so on) for your programs. You will also be able to write fluid functional code in .NET that would leverage concurrency and parallelism!
