What is “functional reactive programming?” Why should you use it? This talk is a high-level, easy-to-grasp intro to the core concepts behind reactive programming. I presented this in April 2015 for some developers at the NY Times.

Most of these slides were written by my friend Andrew for his CodeMash 2015 talk.

You can watch a screen recording of the presentation, with audio, on Vimeo.

The slides, with presenters’ notes, are available in PDF.

As always, I welcome discussion and feedback; I’m @cdzombak on Twitter.
