RxJS (Reactive Extensions for JavaScript) is a very powerful library for web development which allows you to easily write asynchronous or call-back code. In this course, you will explore the latest version of RxJS in detail, focusing on how to apply the reactive paradigm to solve your day-to-day tasks. You will learn all the major components of this library including: subjects, operators, and how to test observables. In the last section of this course, you will get hands-on with this library to create your own project. Throughout this project, you’ll learn about building a centralized loading indicator, how to handle DOM events, how to build a reactive local database, and more. By the end of this course, you will have a great new skill to add to your resume, and a cool new project for your portfolio.
