SwiftFest Boston 2019 | The Reactive Code That Broke My Brain and Changed My Mind (Just in Time for Combine) | Lou Franco
Lou Franco will cover the basic ideas of Rx (RxSwift and Combine). This session is less about Rx operators and more about how to use Rx to build a reactive architecture. Lou will show some code from Trello (RxSwift) and a new workout app called Combine. If you have no Rx experience, you may encounter motivating examples that might convince you to give it a try. If you're using Rx, you'll encounter techniques for using it to make MVVM structures that are more testable and easier to maintain.

Reading list
We've selected five books
that we think will supplement your
learning. Use these to
develop background knowledge, enrich your coursework, and gain a
deeper understanding of the topics covered in
Introduction to MongoDB 2.
Provides a comprehensive overview of reactive programming concepts using RxJava, a popular reactive programming library for Java and the JVM. While this book is written in Java, it can still be valuable for Swift developers who want to understand the underlying concepts of reactive programming.
Provides a comprehensive overview of functional reactive programming (FRP), a programming paradigm that combines functional programming with reactive programming. While this book is not specific to Swift or RxSwift, it provides valuable background knowledge on the core concepts of FRP.
Provides a comprehensive introduction to reactive programming with Haskell. It covers the basics of reactive programming, as well as how to use Haskell to build reactive applications. This book would be a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about reactive programming or Haskell.
