Panel: Nader DabitSia Karamalegos Special Guests: Tracy Lee, Jay Phelps, and Ben Lesh In this episode, the React Round Up panelists talk to Tracy Lee, Jay Phelps, and Ben Lesh about RxJS and redux-observable. Tracy, Jay, and Ben are the RxJS ThisDot Media group and where they do support contracts for RxJS, staff augmentation, developer relations, and put on events. They talk about what observables are and what they are trying to solve, the most common use cases for getting started with observables, and what Promises and Async/Await are. They also touch on what they like most about RxJS, how versatile it is, and more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Tracy, Jay, and Ben introThisDotRxJSWhat is an observable?What problems are observables trying to solve?JavaScriptLearn observablesMaking everything functional in the libraryMeans of encapsulating values you want pushed at you later onDownside to observablesLittle bit of a learning curveMost common uses for getting started with observablesCan Promises and Async/Await be mixed with observables?What do Promises and Async/Await allow you to do?Defer functionAwait values coming in from observablesWhat do you like about RxJS?Allows you to work with all different languagesRxJS is very versatilengrx“Rx all the things”What inspired you to write Redux observable?Redux-observableRxJS docsEpicsAnd much, much more!
