The Activity and Art of Reading

What happens as you age as a reader? In any activity, experience shifts one’s focus from low level details to higher abstractions. Similarly, a better reader is able to see the structure of the books and no mere lines in the book. He is able to see the sequence in which arguments are presented. Organization becomes one of the observables as one becomes more experienced as a reader.

There is a difference between being taught and learning. While something is being explained to you and is completely intelligible, you are being taught

int r = b, old_r = a;
int t = 1, old_t = 0;
int s = 0, old_s = 1;
int quotient;

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.
