The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

(by @andrestaltz)

So you're curious in learning this new thing called (Functional) Reactive Programming (FRP).

Learning it is hard, even harder by the lack of good material. When I started, I tried looking for tutorials. I found only a handful of practical guides, but they just scratched the surface and never tackled the challenge of building the whole architecture around it. Library documentations often don't help when you're trying to understand some function. I mean, honestly, look at this:

Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])

Projects each element of an observable sequence into a new sequence of observable sequences by incorporating the element's index and then transforms an observable sequence of observable sequences into an observable sequence producing values only from the most recent observable sequence.

Studying for a Tech Interview Sucks, so Here's a Cheat Sheet to Help

This list is meant to be a both a quick guide and reference for further research into these topics. It's basically a summary of that comp sci course you never took or forgot about, so there's no way it can cover everything in depth. It also will be available as a gist on Github for everyone to edit and add to.

Data Structure Basics

###Array ####Definition:

• Stores data elements based on an sequential, most commonly 0 based, index.
• Based on tuples from set theory.

How does ls work?

I wanted to be really able to explain to a fair amount of detail how does the program :command:`ls` actually work right from the moment you type the command name and hit ENTER. What goes on in user space and and in kernel space? This is my attempt and what I have learned so far on Linux (Fedora 19, 3.x kernel).

How does the shell find the location of 'ls' ?

I want the home page copy to be of a similar style to that of Papa Parse. Basically, there will be a primary hook followed by a QA-style explanation of what ClipX is. This document will hold those QA and other home-page copy till we are ready to commit it to the repository.

What is ClipX?

Its a content syndication service

That was not at all clear.

ClipX archives and stores everything you want to save on the internet. If you've used ifttt, think of it as ifttt for content.

So you store everything I visit? >No. We store whatever you want to. For eg, you may add an article to pocket, or tag it on Feedly, post a link on your facebook wall, or even star it on twitter. ClipX recognizes all these actions and saves the corresponding link into our database.
