This talk introduces the functional programming side of JavaScript by exploring various higher-order functions of the built-in Array object. The use of these higher-order functions allows several different possible iterations without using an explicit for/while statement at all:

Build a sequence of numbers and characters

Create a list of all prime numbers in a given range

Compute factorial and construct Fibonacci series

Perform basic search operations

Implement insertion sorting via a sorting network

Ariya Hidayat (@ariyahidayat (https://twitter.com/ariyahidayat)) is an engineer/technical lead/FOSS fan/blogger/speaker. These days, his activities are mostly on software craftsmanship around HTML5, JavaScript, and other web technologies.

This meetup has been organized by a bunch of folks from loop/recur (http://looprecur.com), a San Francisco-based JavaScript consultancy.
