Beginning Functional JavaScript

Learn functional programming concepts using JavaScript ES6. You will learn concepts such as currying, partial functions, higher-order functions, and monads.

Programming languages have evolved from focusing on procedures to objects and now on function. JavaScript supports functional programming and allows developers to write well-crafted code.

What You Will Learn:

• Master functional programming concepts
• Identify how functions are treated in JavaScript
• Understand real-world functional libraries and create a functional library that mimics underscore. js
• Perform pure-error handling techniques such as functors and monads
• Discover ES6 functional features such as spread operators and generators
