Class Introduction

This class is a two-day introduction into the JavaScript React Extension library (RxJs) including the basic principles and concepts of reactive programming and reactive application design.

Logistics

  • The class is scheduled to run 8:30am to 4:30pm PDT.
  • The last hour of each day is reserved for hands-on work, Q&A and more detailed exploration of any specialized topics requested by the class.
  • The lunch hour is from 12:30 to 1:30. Those hours will be strictly observed so that you can schedule any out-of-class activities without interruption.
  • There will be a 10-minute break mid-morning and mid-afternoon - the exact time will depend on the flow of the material
  • Be sure to log into your LearnQuest student portal each day to ensure your attendence is recorded.

Introductions

Please introduce yourself briefly, we don't have a lot of time for this part. Please tell me:

  • Name you prefer to be called in class, if different from the one listed on the class list
  • Your area of professions focus (developer, SRE, tester, BA, hardware engineer, etc.)
  • Any experience you have with reactive programming in any language.
  • Any specific objectives for the class or specific items you want to learn.
  • Just to humanize things, tell us one non-technical thing about yourself, like a hobby or special interest.

Class Materials

  • Much of the material that we will be using in class is the RxJS and other related online documentation

    • The on-line documentation is excellent, thorough and extensive
    • This material is not intended to replicate the online documentation

  • The class notes organize the material, fill in the gaps and provide additional annotations

  • The instructor's job is to explain, not just read the materials

  • All class materials are in this repository

  • Additional material may be added during the class

  • The repository will be available for download for 30 days: it will be archived on June 22 2024

Lab Machines

  • You will be provided with your own VM with a RxJS development environment installed.
  • There is a link to your personal VM in the LearnQuest Portal
  • The instructor will walk through a demo of how to access and use the VMs
  • If you want to use your own machines, there is a link to a repo with an npm project that you can use to install the necessary tools Lab Setup
    • However, there will not be time during class to troubleshoot anyone's local setup.
