JavaScript: Functional Programming for JavaScript Developers

Summary

In this chapter we covered a number of advanced JavaScript patterns. Of these patterns it's my belief that dependency injection and macros are the most useful to us. You may not necessarily want to use them on every project. When approaching problems simply being aware of the possible solutions may change your approach to the problem.

Throughout this book I have talked extensively about the next versions of JavaScript. However, you don't need to wait until some future time to make use of many of these tools. Today, there are ways to compile newer versions of JavaScript down to the current version of JavaScript. The final chapter will explore a number of these tools and techniques.
