BoulderJS: April Meetup

Welcome JavaScripters!

This month we have some great talks picked out for you. Hope to see you there!

TALK #1:

Using AWS and Node to handle streaming data from IoT devices across hundreds of users.

TALK #2:
Redux-Observable

Handling async events is hard. The typical solution is to use Promises, but that does not cover common situations like race condition between subsequent http requests. RxJS is a great library for handling streams of events in time, but it is not straightforward how to use it in Redux based React applications. Redux-observable is a simple library that brings power of RxJS into Redux. We will introduce basic concepts of RxJS and redux-observable and how it can be used in common situations, discuss the tradeoffs and caveats.
