3 Good Articles for getting into Functional Programming in Javascript
A few great resources for dipping your toe into functional programming in javascript outside the context of a library/framework.
There are plenty of resources out there on functional programming. Unfortunately many seem to throw you into the deep end with the jargon and theory.
Here are a few great articles to get you started:
- Function Programming in Javascript - Jonasz Wiącek
- Functional Programming in JavaScript: Introduction and Practical Examples - Bret Cameron
- Functional programming in Javascript - Damian Cipolat

It is so much more accessible to make js the starting points for learning new methods and theories. It often can be the wrong choice for actually building a solution. It is just so easy to dive in and try stuff though.
