Functional-Light JavaScript

Kyle Simpson (https://github.com/getify), speaker and author of the “You Don’t Know JavaScript” book series, will cover the 80/20 of functional programming.

Kyle will show you a practical take on functional programming, so you can use techniques like Pure Functions, Composability & Immutability, map/reduce/filter and Recursion to improve your programs today.
