I’ve been reading and hearing lots about RX on blogs and podcasts. It sounds very promising, especially because it is going to utilize the Parallel framework. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to play around with it. In the release notes I found this “Remove Observable.Context and replace with IScheduler mechanism.” So I figured IScheduler would be a good place to start snooping around. Over lunch I downloaded the bits and did a quick “hello world” using the static IScheduler. Not very exciting but might help someone get up and running quickly to play around with the very basics.

 static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var timespan = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5);

            using (Scheduler.Later.Schedule(DoSomeActionLater, timespan))
            {
                using (Scheduler.Now.Schedule(DoSomeAction))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("type q to quit");

                    while (Console.ReadLine() != "q")
                    {
                        Thread.Sleep(1000);
                        Console.WriteLine("...");
                    }

                }
            }
        }

        public static void DoSomeActionLater()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Later");
        }

        public static void DoSomeAction()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Now");
        }
