About This Course

Who this course is for:

  • JavaScript developers that want to learn functional programming techniques and concepts.

What you’ll learn: 

  • Functional programming techniques you can apply right now
  • Concepts that define a functional programming approach
  • The difference between an OOP approach and a functional approach in JavaScript
  • JavaScript libraries such a Lodash and Ramda that support a functional approach
  • Techniques such as currying, cloning and composition done using vanilla JavaScript
  • JavaScript concepts critical to understanding functional programming
  • Declarative programming

Requirements: 

  • An intermediate level of JavaScript. You need to feel comfortable reading and writing JavaScript code.

In this course, you’ll learn the definition of functional programming and why it was used as the structure of the course. We will break it down into pieces, and focus on those pieces and the techniques you can use right away. Each new concept will build on the previous concepts. And in the end, you will see all the concepts come together.

The functional programming paradigm will be difficult at first to grasp and implement. But with the help of this course, you’ll make the leap and begin applying functional programming techniques into your own code. In this course, you will learn techniques that you can apply today. But remember, you don’t need to implement everything immediately. Implement those things that make sense and grow into it slowly.

If you learn by doing, this course will give you plenty of chances to work on an exercise and then sit back and watch as I go through the exercise. Jump in today and begin learning functional programming concepts in JavaScript.

Our Promise to You

By the end of this course, you will have learned functional programming in JavaScript and understand its concepts.

10 Day Money Back Guarantee. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, simply contact us and we’ll give you a full refund. No questions asked.
