Key benefits

  • Apply functional programming concepts and techniques to everyday JavaScript or TypeScript programming
  • Master functional programming in JavaScript and TypeScript to solve real-world development problems
  • Apply functional programming to get better testable programs with higher modularity and reusability

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

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.

What you will learn

  • Understand when to use functional programming versus classic object-oriented programming
  • Use declarative coding instead of imperative coding for clearer, more understandable code
  • Know how to avoid side effects and create more reliable code with closures and immutable data
  • Use recursion to help design and implement more understandable solutions to complex problems
  • Define functional programing data types with or without TypeScript, add type checking, and implement immutability
  • Apply advanced containers to get better structures to tackle errors and implement async programming

A fascinating, well-written book. Although you need to experience in programming to follow, it starts at the beginning and builds up, giving you all the knowledge you need to understand and then master functional programming. Easy to read, like an enchanting fiction book.This book uses TypeScript a lot, so if you have no experience with that, it can be challenging to understand everything. Still, this is an excellent (I rate it five stars despite that) book on this topic, worth its price; just be aware of it and think through it before buying it.Then buy it. You have to know TypeScript anyway.

This book has been truly helpful for me. The author's knowledge and passion were really good. This book made complex ideas easy to understand like immutability and lazy evaluation, giving me the confidence to embrace functional programming. The practical examples and code snippets helped my understanding and changed the way I code. If you want to move to more senior level in your JavaScript programming or learn more in depth about javascript, this book is a must-read.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.
