Asynchronous JavaScript at Netflix

Explore the power of asynchronous programming in JavaScript through this insightful conference talk from JSConf Budapest 2015. Discover how treating events as collections can revolutionize your approach to building complex, reactive systems. Learn to apply familiar Array methods to create expressive asynchronous programs, covering topics such as declarative event building, Ajax request coordination, reactive UI updates, memory leak prevention, and asynchronous exception handling. Gain valuable insights into Netflix's use of Reactive Extensions (RxJS) for both client and server-side development, and compare this approach with Promise-based programming. Access accompanying slides for a comprehensive understanding of the concepts presented in this 41-minute talk.
