Intro To Functional JavaScript

Heard of Functional Programming and curious what it looks like in JavaScript? This talk is for you! It's aimed at JavaScript developers that are comfortable in the language and looking to explore some practical Functional Programming techniques they can use in their every day jobs.

In the main slides, we'll ease into some Function Programming terms/concepts, discuss the benefits, and then see some small examples in JavaScript! Depending on how we're doing on time, we'll do some live coding and explore some real-world examples in a staged REPL. Oh, and there will be plenty of memes!
