1. Learn to Write Functional Javascript: [1.1 GB] ( LRFJS 1 - LRFJS 2 )
   • Learn the concepts required to be a functional programmer and to write functional web-apps using modern JavaScript.
     This course delivers the building blocks of the functional paradigm in a way that makes sense to JavaScript developers. Animated visualizations help explain difficult concepts such as higher-order functions, lenses and persistent data, partial application and currying and then write code so you understand concepts before trying to apply the knowledge them.
     You'll learn to create reusable functions by writing higher-order functions, trite more declarative and expressive code without loops. Master map, filter and reduce, three very powerful functional utilities.
     Create your own higher-order functions to replace native JS Array methods.
     Learn about partial application and create your own curry implementation.
     Build JSX and Virtual-DOM into functional ES2017 apps without using React, and many other JavaScript programming things.
