Key benefits

  • Explore this second edition updated to cover features like async functions and transducers, as well as functional reactive programming
  • Enhance your functional programming (FP) skills to build web and server apps using JavaScript
  • Use FP to enhance the modularity, reusability, and performance of apps

Description

Functional programming is a paradigm for developing software with better performance. It helps you write concise and testable code. To help you take your programming skills to the next level, this comprehensive book will assist you in harnessing the capabilities of functional programming with JavaScript and writing highly maintainable and testable web and server apps using functional JavaScript. This second edition is updated and improved to cover features such as transducers, lenses, prisms and various other concepts to help you write efficient programs. By focusing on functional programming, you’ll not only start to write but also to test pure functions, and reduce side effects. The book also specifically allows you to discover techniques for simplifying code and applying recursion for loopless coding. Gradually, you’ll understand how to achieve immutability, implement design patterns, and work with data types for your application, before going on to learn functional reactive programming to handle complex events in your app. Finally, the book will take you through the design patterns that are relevant to functional programming. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed your JavaScript skills and have gained knowledge of the essential functional programming techniques to program effectively.

Who is this book for?

This book is for JavaScript developers who want to enhance their programming skills and build efficient web applications. Frontend and backend developers who use various JavaScript frameworks and libraries like React, Angular, or Node.js will also find the book helpful. Working knowledge of ES2019 is required to grasp the concepts covered in the book easily.

What you will learn

  • Simplify JavaScript coding using function composition, pipelining, chaining, and transducing
  • Use declarative coding as opposed to imperative coding to write clean JavaScript code
  • Create more reliable code with closures and immutable data
  • Apply practical solutions to complex programming problems using recursion
  • Improve your functional code using data types, type checking, and immutability
  • Understand advanced functional programming concepts such as lenses and prisms for data access

Este es un excelente libro de introducción a la programación funcional, los capítulos finales tienen un salto muy grande que lo hace difícil de seguir, pero con apoyo de internet se puede entender lo que el autor trata de explicar

As I am reading through the chapters of this book I can get what the writer is trying to aim at, but there are multiple occurrences of grammatical errors or poor explanations due to confusing choice of words. One valuable piece of feedback I could give to the the author is to hire a proofreader to help the author structure sentences in more meaningful ways and find better choice of words in some cases. The book content as a whole is great, but it can be hard to follow what the author is trying to say due to poor choice of words or structural sentence inconsistencies.

I don't know if I would buy this book again. Some of the code I did not get but I don't have the strongest math skills. I did learn some new techniques for JavaScript and overall the it is very well written. I think I may have to read it a couple of times more for everything to clicks and sticks. I found some concepts challenging to wrap my head around.
