Reactive Extensions for .NET

Abstract

For developers, the computing world of today is becoming much more concurrent that just a few short years ago. Computer users except an ever-increasing computational power from their electronic gadgets, including their mobile devices. Unfortunately, it seems that the only way manufactures will be able to increase computational speed in the near future is through adding additional processors (instead of making a single processor faster, as has been the case over the last few decades). In the case of processors on personal computers, the industry has already hit a proverbial brick wall, having pretty much reached the maximum computational capacity available on a single processing unit. An average personal computer today comes with two or more processing units, and the number is certain to increase.
