In learning and following the core concepts of Functional Programming, you can quickly write more maintainable, flexible, and beautiful code.
Description
Functional Programming is a revolutionary way of writing code and is rapidly gaining traction in the world of software development. While Object-Oriented Programming is still the most popular programming paradigm, there are a number of problems that come about when using it - hard-to-find bugs, tightly coupled code, very difficult to scale. Functional programming allows us to solve or avoid all these problems by taking a very different approach to writing software.
Learn all about the core concepts of Functional Programming and how to apply them in JavaScript, mix of screen casting, slides, and coding. Basic functional concepts lead to first class functions, which leads to working with arrays and objects and then advanced functional concepts.
