How can you overcome JavaScript language oddities and unsafe features? With this book, you´ll learn how to create code that´s beautiful, safe, and simple to understand and test by using JavaScript´s functional programming support. Author Michael Fogus shows you how to apply functional-style concepts with Underscore.js, a JavaScript library that facilitates functional programming techniques. Sample code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/funjs/book-source.


Fogus helps you think in a functional way to help you minimize complexity in the programs you build. If you´re a JavaScript programmer hoping to learn functional programming techniques, or a functional programmer looking to learn JavaScript, this book is the ideal introduction.


Use applicative programming techniques with first-class functions Understand how and why you might leverage variable scoping and closures Delve into higher-order functions-and learn how they take other functions as arguments for maximum advantage Explore ways to compose new functions from existing functions Get around JavaScript´s limitations for using recursive functions Reduce, hide, or eliminate the footprint of state change in your programs Practice flow-based programming with chains and functional pipelines Discover how to code without using classes
