Session: Pure, Functional Javascript
Wednesday 11.10 - 12.00
Room: Keyboard Cat
Are you comfortable passing functions around, returning them from other functions, and generally enjoy the pleasures of higher-order functions? Join in on a brief hour implementing ideas from functional programming in JavaScript. I will show you how you can significantly up your game by leaving loops behind and embracing functions as your primary unit of abstraction.
