Non expected behavior in tutorial example

[mark-meyer]

The first example in rxjs/doc/tutorial/basics.md - Creating observables - produces no output.

var myObservable = Rx.Subject.create();  
myObservable.subscribe(value => console.log(value));  
myObservable.next('foo');

Is this a typo? Show it be var myObservable = new Rx.Subject ?

Yes. this is a typo. Subject.create does something completely different than new Subject(). It's made for combining an observer and an observable into a subject, not simply newing up a subject.

This is probably a point for debate for future versions of the library (the current behavior mirrors what's existed in prior versions), but at the very least, this is a bug in the docs.
