8 The Pragmatic Programmers, LLC.DescriptionUpgrade your skillset, succeed at work, and above all, avoid the many headaches that come with modern front-end development. Simplify your codebase with hands-on examples pulled from real-life applications. Master the mysteries of asynchronous state management, detangle puzzling race conditions, and send spaceships soaring through the cosmos. When you finish this book, you'll be able to tame the wild code beasts before they ever get a chance to wreck your day.The front-end world can be fraught with complexity. The RxJS library offers a solution: Observables. Observables merge other JavaScript async mechanisms such as callbacks and promise into a new way of looking at data. Instead of dealing with objects and keeping track of their state, Observables view asynchronous events as a stream. RxJS provides you with the tools to manage, manipulate, and process Observables to simplify and speed up your front-end applications.Never fear, you're in exactly the right place. Don't worry about getting stuck in a mire of theory. Start with the basics, building small applications that illustrate deeper points. Take those building blocks and apply them to much more complex problems like handling asynchronous states and dodging race conditions before they happen. Once you've got a handle on complex problems, leap architecture, discovering how to structure an Observable-based application without a framework and in the land of Angular 2. After mastering Observables, switch gears to building a canvas-based game, demonstrating your deep understanding of the flexibility of Observables.Master the Observable with RxJS, and make your asynchronous JavaScript code much cleaner and simpler.What You NeedAny major browser and text editor, as well as the current versions of git, NodeJS, and npm.Creating Observables.
