Functional programming is enjoying a renaissance and for good reason. This programming paradigm has a lot to offer modern web developers. However, between the vernacular and the mathematics, it can be very intimidating to get started. Join Kyle Shevlin to learn the basics of functional programming in JavaScript so you and your team can get started using functional programming today.
Kyle focuses on learning the fundamentals of writing composable functions in JavaScript, covering higher-order functions, pure functions, currying and partial application, and composition. Not only will you learn what each of these are, but you will see examples written in modern, ES2015+ JavaScript. You’ll leave with the understanding and resources necessary to start using functional programming in your apps today.
Kyle Shevlin is a senior software engineer at Formidable Labs. Kyle loves JavaScript. He is a fan of React and functional programming, isn’t a fan of semicolons, and is a maintainer of a glorious beard.
