O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
Summing Up
You now have the basics of interoperating with JavaScript: binding to JavaScript functions, working with JavaScript objects, and encoding and decoding JSON. For the full details of BuckleScript/ReasonML’s extensive interop capabilities, see https://bucklescript.github.io/docs/en/interop-overview.
You may have noticed in Working with Mutable Variables my reluctance—bordering on distaste—for talking about mutable objects and, in particular, mutable global state. This is an issue that bothers many people who are used to the functional programming style, and some exceptionally bright programmers have come up with an answer: reactive programming. That’s what we’ll investigate in the next chapter.
