An excellent and modern introduction to the world of functional programming. The best thing is, this book is filled with practical examples using some of the latest Javascript technologies out there. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in a more thorough understanding of functional programming via the Javascript environment.
Quite a good introduction to functional programming. Will teach you some basic concepts that will help you to write more reliable, modular and cleaner code. Recommended for novices in javascript. Maybe little bit less useful for someone who has prior experience with functional programming in languages like haskell, lisp e.t.c.
Good introductory book to functional programming. Well-structured and based on clear examples. Quite a few typos however (not that it matters much).
Good examples.
The cover is a great summation: "How to improve your JavaScript programs using functional techniques."This is a "gateway drug" for those who write JavaScript and are itching to sprinkle functional concepts into their code and take their JS to the next level.The book is well structured, starting with motivating examples of converting emperative code into functional code. It's the first time I've seen code that looks similar to what I've written be improved in almost every way. The book constantly [...]
A wide and yet in-depth instruction of functional programming. Making the paradigm shift from imperative to more functional programming has significantly improved my development skills. At first, it used to hurt my brain to try to think functionally, but refactoring my side projects, writing more functional code at work and reading this book have helped.Some of the core benefits of functional programming are: - It encourages you to decompose tasks into simple functions, which are more clear and [...]
Great book for those who really wants to make the code cleaner. You just need to remap your brain to think in a some new different way. Must read!
Great book. I like how Luis describes functional programming, with providing great examples of functional and OOP. Examples are very clear and up to the point. I'm learning so much from this book about functional programming.
4.5/5 -- Wonderful, albeit shallow at times, coverage of functional programming as it exists in JavaScript. Half a point off for numerous code typos and bugs.
This book helps you understand how to implement fundamental of functional programming with Javascript
Quite enjoyed this book! I find now that I'm practicing functional JS that my level of enjoyment working in JS is significantly improved. Very much liked learning about the Ramda library. Would like to have seen more on RxJS, but of course there's another book for that.
