I was just sitting in a doctor surgery 45 minutes ago with an orthopaedic spine surgeon, who is one of the few who has worked out how to use software to his advantage.

…so now I have to go back in two weeks while he can restart a plan for a difficult corrective surgery.

I had the opportunity to attend the Fluent Conference held at San Francisco from March 8th to 10th 2016.

Here is a brief summary of the various sessions I attended and what I learnt from them.

##Functional reactive JavaScript on the client and the server

Pete Hodgson from Thoughtworks gave a wonderful talk about what Reactive programming is. He focussed specifically on using Rx.js and explained what streams are and how they can be used to model everything - from a series of async values, to node streams, to even mouse clicks. Using one API to model everything as a stream is a huge benefit, but I find the Rx programming paradigm needs considerable effort in learning and mastering it. I am still trying to wrap my mind around what exactly does an 'Observable of Observables' mean. The takeaway for me was to start using Rx.js on a very small portion of an existing application and grow from there. 'Don't try to boil the ocean' is good advice.

My rating for this talk: 5/5 (based on topic relevance and speaker d
