Everything as a Stream - How We're Embracing Functional Reactive Programming to Build a Large SPA

This course teaches learners about embracing functional reactive programming to build a large Single Page Application (SPA). The learning outcomes include understanding why functional reactive programming was chosen for state management, side-effects, and complex data flows in the SPA. Students will also learn about using RxJS, a powerful library for working with data streams, and the challenges and patterns that emerge when utilizing RxJS Observables. The course covers topics such as Redux with redux-observable, action streams, advanced state streams, view streams, and the benefits of RxJS. The teaching method involves a presentation style talk discussing the rationale behind choosing functional reactive programming and the practical implications of using RxJS. This course is intended for developers interested in functional programming, reactive programming, state management in SPAs, and working with data streams in JavaScript applications.
