Book Description

This book is a balanced, pragmatic exploration of Functional Programming in JavaScript. Functional Programming (FP) is an incredibly powerful paradigm for structuring code that yields more robust, verifiable, and readable programs.

It explores the core principles of functional programming (FP) as they are applied to JavaScript. But what makes this book different is that we approach these principles without drowning in all the heavy terminology.

If you've ever tried to learn FP but struggled with terms like "monad", mathematical concepts like category theory, or symbols like (lambda), you're not alone.Functional-Light programming distills the most vital aspects of FP - function purity, value immutability, composition, and more! - down to approachable JavaScript patterns. Rather than the all-or-nothing dogmatism often encountered in FP, this book teaches you how to improve your programs line by line.

• Mostly Adequate Guide To Functional Programming in JavaScript

  This is a book on the functional paradigm in general. We'll use the world's most popular functional programming language: JavaScript. This makes it possible to practice and apply your acquired knowledge each day on real world programs.

• Composing Software: Functional and Object in JavaScript

  All software design is composition: the act of breaking complex problems down into smaller problems and composing those solutions. Most developers have a limited understanding of compositional techniques. It's time for that to change.

• Eloquent JavaScript, 3rd Edition: A Modern Introduction

  Eloquent JavaScript dives deep into the JavaScript language to show you how to write beautiful, effective code. It immerses you in example code from the start, while exercises and full-chapter projects give you hands-on experience.

• Deep JavaScript: Theory and Techniques (Axel Rauschmayer)

  In depth knowledge of JavaScript makes it easier to learn a variety of other frameworks, including Node.js, React, Angular, and related tools and libraries. This book is designed to help you cover the core JavaScript concepts you need to build modern applications.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Get Started - 2nd Ed. (Kyle Simpson)

  By learning the basic building blocks of programming, as well as JavaScript's core mechanisms, you'll be prepared to dive into the other, more in-depth books in the series and be well on your way toward true JavaScript.

• Speaking JavaScript: An In-Depth Guide for Programmers

  Speaking JavaScript helps you approach the language with four standalone sections. First, a quick-start guide teaches you just enough of the language to help you be productive right away.

• JavaScript for Impatient Programmers (Axel Rauschmayer)

  This book makes JavaScript less challenging to learn for newcomers, by offering a modern view that is as consistent as possible. No prior knowledge of JavaScript is required, but you should know how to program.

• Understanding ECMAScript 6 (Nicholas C. Zakas)

  This book is a guide for the transition between ECMAScript 5 and 6. In particular, this book is aimed at intermediate-to-advanced JavaScript developers (both browser and Node.js environments) who want to learn about the future of the language.

• Object-Oriented JavaScript, 2nd Edition (Stoyan Stefanov, et al.)

  This book shows you everything you need to learn object oriented JavaScript, demonstrating valuable techniques and strategies that you can use to fully experience the impressive capabilities of the language.
