Overview:

Functional Programming is a revolutionary way of writing code thats rapidly gaining traction in the world of software development. While Object-Oriented Programming is still the most popular programming paradigm, there are a number of problems that come about when using it--hard-to-find bugs, tightly coupled code, and its difficult to scale. Functional programming allows us to solve or avoid these problems by taking a different approach to writing software.

This master class includes the following courses:

  • Functional Programming Projects with JavaScript
  • Functional Programming Projects with Python 3: Write More Robust, Readable Code

Functional Programming Projects with JavaScript teaches all about the core concepts of Functional Programming and how to apply them in JavaScript, mix of screen casting, slides, and coding. Basic functional concepts lead to first class functions, which leads to working with arrays and objects and then advanced functional concepts.

Functional Programming Projects with Python 3 is about the core concepts of Functional Programming and how to apply them in Python, through a mix of screen casting, slides, and coding. It also covers basic functional concepts that lead to first class functions, which leads to working with arrays and objects and then advanced functional concepts.
