So far we only had effects that write something to the external world, we are not yet reading anything from the external world into our app. This lesson shows how we can change the DOM Driver to return a "DOM Source" representing read effects, such as click events. We will leverage that to create an interactive application.

You may be an exceptionally talented developer, but you might be an even more exceptional teacher. I love watching your videos. The way you build abstractions from the ground up is brilliant.

FWIW, in this video, Andre uses RxJS v4... this code won't behave properly with RxJS v5. Here's a RxJS v5 snippet that works: http://jsbin.com/voxereq/5/edit?js,console,output

Note that fromEvent() is added to JSBin via a <SCRIPT>

fromEvent() and other xstream extras are described in the extras documentation. The source can be found in the same repo.

Please note, that in order the code to work on Plunker (or in your browser) you must use the legacy (0.21.6) version of SystemJS. For that just modify the script tag in the index.html like below:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/systemjs@0.21.6/dist/system.js">
