Matt Carkci here (the book author)...

Thank you for the kind words... everyone.

When I started writing the book "Dataflow and Reactive Programming Systems" I thought I completely understood the various forms of dataflow. Yet in doing research for the book I found there are many more subtle variations than I ever knew existed.

The book went through many iterations before I felt I accurately described the similarities and differences between the many forms of dataflow. I'm happy to hear that I may have succeeded.

Otherwise, a search for "reactive programming" in the FBP mailing list, will give quite some info too:

Wow, we just recommended the same book within seconds of each other. But seriously it's a good book, if you have interest in the topic it's worth reading.

Indeed :)

I believe the author started http://www.reddit.com/r/dataflowprogramming/ It's a bit slow, but there's a lot of good stuff in there already.
