From what I can see functional programming is significant but not only part of javascript allonge and javascript spessore contains references to fp but it doesn't seem to be focus of this book
- aikah 12y agoSorry but these books are in my opinion the best one can find about FP in JS,and I read a lot of them,especially allongé,which goes in detail in a lot of advanced FP concepts.You should actually read these books.
- andrzejsz 12y agoI did not deny that FP is leading theme in javascript allonge quite the opposite but it does not apply to javascript spessore I am afraid
- klibertp 12y ago"Allonge" is very much about FP and - more importantly! - about the uses of FP in a language with mutable state, objects and so on. It's more pragmatic and immediately useful than The Little/Seasoned Schemer, but this doesn't make it any less about FP. "Spessore" is about OOP, but described from unusual angle: it reminds me of "The Little Java, a Few Patterns" in this regard. It's a great description of how and why OOP works, from the most basic concepts up. Reg's articles on FP in JS and Ruby let me fill the gaps in my knowledge I had because of having no formal education in maths. I was interested in FP for years, and I learned much about it on my own, but Reg's texts made it all "click" for me. I definitely recommend reading all of them; unless you're really familiar with this stuff, from both theoretical and practical sides, I can guarantee that you'll learn something new and useful. Really, go read them. See also https://leanpub.com/coffeescript-ristretto https://leanpub.com/coffeescript-ristretto if you prefer CS.
