Functional-Light JavaScript
Balanced, Pragmatic FP in JavaScript
A uniquely pragmatic approach to explaining core functional programming concepts WITHOUT wading through mathematical notation or heavy terminology.
About
About the Book
This book 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. We look at a subset of FP foundational concepts that I call "Functional-Light Programming" (FLP) and apply it to JavaScript.
