Reactive Extensions
======================

This repository contains four libraries which are conceptually related in that they are all concerned with LINQ over sequences of things:

* [Reactive Extensions for .NET](Rx.NET/) aka Rx.NET or Rx ([System.Reactive](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Reactive/)): a library for event-driven programming with a composable, declarative model
* [AsyncRx.NET](AsyncRx.NET/) (experimental preview) ([System.Reactive.Async](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Reactive.Async)): experimental implementation of Rx for `IAsyncObservable<T>` offering deeper `async`/`await` support
* [Interactive Extensions for .NET](Ix.NET/), aka Ix ([System.Interactive](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Interactive/)): extended LINQ operators for `IAsyncEnumerable` and `IEnumerable`
* [LINQ for `IAsyncEnumerable`](./Ix.NET/Source/System.Linq.Async/) ([System.Linq.Async](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Linq.Async/)): implements standard LINQ operators for `IAsyncEnumerable`

Each will be described later in this README.

## FREE Introduction to Rx.NET 2nd Edition eBook

Reactive programming provides clarity when our code needs to respond to events. The Rx.NET libraries were designed to enable cloud-native applications to process live data in reliable, predictable ways.

We've written a FREE book which explains the vital abstractions that underpin Rx, and shows how to exploit the powerful and extensive functionality built into the Rx.NET libraries. 

Based on Lee Campbell's 2010 book (kindly donated to the project), it has been re-written to bring it up to date with Rx.NET v6.0, .NET 8.0, and modern cloud native use cases such as IoT and real-time stream data processing.

Introduction to Rx.NET is available [Online](https://introtorx.com/), [on GitHub](Rx.NET/Documentation/IntroToRx/), as [PDF](https://endjincdn.blob.core.windows.net/assets/ebooks/introduction-to-rx-dotnet/introduction-to-rx-dotnet-2nd-edition.pdf), and [EPUB](https://endjincdn.blob.core.windows.net/assets/ebooks/introduction-to-rx-dotnet/introduction-to-rx-dotnet-2nd-edition.epub).
