Abstract

Functional programming is a programming paradigm that uses functions for developing software. This book is filled with examples that enable you to leverage the latest JavaScript and TypeScript versions to produce modern and clean code, as well as teach you to how apply functional programming techniques to develop more efficient algorithms, write more concise code, and simplify unit testing. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major topics in functional programming to produce shorter, clearer, and testable programs. You'll begin by getting to grips with writing and testing pure functions, reducing side effects, as well as other key features to make your applications functional in nature. The book specifically explores techniques to simplify coding, apply recursion, perform high-level coding, learn ways to achieve immutability, implement design patterns, and work with data types. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the practical programming skills needed to confidently enhance your applications by adding functional programming to wherever it's most suitable. If you are a JavaScript or TypeScript developer looking to enhance your programming skills, then this book is for you. The book applies to both frontend developers working with frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular as well as backend developers using Node.js or Deno.
