  • Identify how functions are treated in JavaScript
  • Understand real-world functional libraries and create a functional library that mimics underscore.js
  • Perform pure-error handling techniques such as functors and monads
  • Discover ES6 functional features such as spread operators and generators

Who This Book Is For:

JavaScript developers (or beginners) who want to understand functional programming concepts and the functional nature of the language.
