1. RxSwift Introduction to reactive programming Kristaps Grinbergs @fassko

2. RxSwift isn't KVO, ReactNative or ReactJS

6. Agenda • What is Rx • RxSwift and building blocks

   • Examples • Pros and Cons

7. Imperative programming • Saved state • Order of execution •

   Side effects

8. In computing, reactive programming is a programming paradigm oriented around

   data flows and the propagation of change. Wikipedia

9. Reactive programming is programming with asynchronous data streams

10. Reactive programming • Asynchronous • No saved state • Functional

    • Responsive

11. ReactiveX An API for asynchronous programming with observable streams. •

    Microsoft (Rx.NET) - 2009 • Supports many languages • RxSwift - 2015

12. Rx components • Observable • Observers • Schedulers

27. Testing • Async XCTest with expectations • RxBlocking making it

    synchronous • Using RxTest and custom Schedulers • https://www.raywenderlich.com/7408-testing-your-rxswift-code • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgbTenGH-P0

28. + Agile and reusable code Thread safety Eliminate state from

    code Testing Well tested Error handling Large community and extensions Extends MVVM

29. - Steep learning curve Change previous practices Debugging Testing Over-reactive

    Overhead
