Unlock the powers of functional programming hidden within JavaScript to build smarter; cleaner; and more reliable web apps

Key Features:

- Write powerful code with the high-level functions that JavaScript offers

- Discover what functional programming is; why it's effective; and how it's used in JavaScript

- Understand and optimize JavaScript's hidden potential as a true functional language

Book Description:

JavaScript is a high-level; dynamic; untyped; lightweight; and interpreted programming language and functional programming is a style that emphasizes and enables smarter code that minimizes complexity and increases modularity. It's a way of writing cleaner code through clever ways of mutating; combining; and using functions. And JavaScript provides an excellent medium for this approach. By learning how to expose JavaScript's true identity as a functional language; we can implement web apps that are more powerful; easier to maintain and more reliable.

The java script: Functional Programming for JavaScript Developers course will take you on a journey to show how functional programming when combined with other techniques makes JavaScript programming more efficient.

The first module Mastering JavaScript; stress on practical aspects of Javascript development like-Functions and Closures; Runtime debugging techniques; project layout; events and DOM processing; build tools; Object-oriented patterns; isomorphism-everything that a modern Javascript project would need.

The second module; Mastering JavaScript Design Patterns - Second Edition; will explore how design patterns can help you improve and organize your JavaScript code. You'll get to grips with creational; structural; and behavioral patterns as you discover how to put them to work in different scenarios. This updated edition will also delve into reactive design patterns and microservices as they are a growing phenomenon in the world of web development. It will also show you some advanced patterns; including dependency injection and live post processing.

The third module; Functional Programming in JavaScript; will help you to write real-world applications by utilizing a wide range of functional techniques and styles. It explores the core concepts of functional programming common to all functional languages; with examples of their use in JavaScript.

What You Will Learn:

- Get a run through of the basic JavaScript language constructs

- Code using the powerful object-oriented feature in JavaScript

- Master DOM manipulation; cross-browser strategies; and ES6

- Understand the basic concurrency constructs in Javascript and best performance strategies

- Harness the power of patterns for tasks ranging from application building to code testing

- Build large-scale apps seamlessly with the help of reactive patterns

- Explore advanced design patterns; including dependency injection

- Develop more powerful applications with currying and function composition

- Create more reliable code with closures and immutable data

Who this book is for:

If you are a JavaScript developer interested in learning functional programming; looking for the quantum leap toward mastering the JavaScript language; or just want to become a better programmer in general; then this book is ideal for you. This guide is aimed at programmers; involved in developing reactive frontend apps; server-side apps that wrangle with reliability and concurrency; and everything in between.
