Øredev 2011- Functional Javascript - Anders Janmyr
Javascript has long been a misunderstood programming language. Its roots come from Self and Scheme, a prototypical and a functional programming language respectively. Not very mainstream! Yet, Javascript has evolved into one of the most widespread programming languages in the world! In this presentation you will learn what it means for a language to have first class functions and you will learn functional programming with higher order functions. I will show how to use functional programmingtechniques in Javascript and how these techniques can help you organize your code.
