JavaScript: Reactive and Functional JavaScript

JavaScript is a language with a variety of applications, but most commonly it is used in a web page.

This Learning Path begins with describing what JavaScript is and how browsers use it. We get started with the essentials-the JavaScript syntax. This includes comments, operators, variables, conditions, loops, and functions. With the basics in place, we will move on to learn about reactive programming, understand its need, and also look at building simple apps with good understanding of Rx. We will start off with Bacon.js and then move on to using Rx.js for both client-side and server-side applications.

The final part of this Learning Path will look at the writing maintainable code. You will experience benefits of functional programming even if your code is not purely functional. You will also learn how to write code that’s easy to understand, extend, test, and debug. The ES6 Hands-on Practice on how to use currying, partial evaluation, map, reduce, filter, recursion, and other functional programming concepts in ES6 is also covered.
