"Keeping your Promises" by Dr. Venkat Subramaniam

Callbacks have ruled the JavaScripts world. While they provide a way to handle asynchronous responses they’re far from being elegant and they do not compose well. Promises solve the issues with a greater elegance, fluency, and civility. Promises can be chained nicely as well.

In this presentation, we will dive into Promises, learn how to use them, how to create our own functions that return Promises, and finally how to automate the test of functions that rely on Promises.

"Get Reactive with RxJS" by Dr. Venkat Subramaniam

Functional Reactive Programming is gaining tractions. Reactive programming starts where functional programming leaves us—to make use of lazy evaluations and function composition to create highly responsive and reliable applications. What does RxJS offer from the point of view of reactive programming, where is it used, and how can you apply it for your projects?

This presentation will answer those question, but not in theory, but by way of showing practical examples of RxJS in use.
