Functional JavaScript
While some web developers dismiss JavaScript as a flawed language, this succinct book shows you how to make the best of it by practicing a functional style of JavaScript programming.
Written by Michael Fogus—a core contributor to Clojure and ClojureScript, and author of The Joy of Clojure (Manning)—this book is packed with not only the how of functional programming, but also the why. Each topic illustrated with pointed examples. You’ll also get a thorough reference to the Underscore.js library and its idioms, including:
Closures
Applicative programming
Laziness
Immutability
Higher-order functions
Purity
Combinators
Currying and partial application
