| Functional Programming in JavaScript teaches you techniques to
| improve your web applications: their extensibility, modularity,
| reusability, and testability, as well as their performance. This
| easy-to-read book/course uses concrete examples and clear
| explanations to show you how to use functional programming in real
| life. If you're new to functional programming, you'll appreciate
| this guide's many insightful comparisons to imperative or object-
| oriented programming that help you understand functional design.
| By the end, you'll think about application design in a fresh new
| way, and you may even grow to appreciate monads!

| In complex web applications, the low-level details of your
| JavaScript code can obscure the workings of the system as a whole.
| As a coding style, functional programming (FP) promotes loosely
| coupled relationships among the components of your application,
| making the big picture easier to design, communicate, and
| maintain.
| Inside:

| High-value FP techniques for real-world uses
| Using FP where it makes the most sense
| Separating the logic of your system from implementation details
| FP-style error handling, testing, and debugging
| All code samples use JavaScript ES6 (ES 2015)
| Created for developers with a solid grasp of JavaScript
| fundamentals and web application design.
