We will be covering the foundations necessary to begin writing JavaScript in a functional style.

Topics covered:

• The philosophy of different programming paradigms: Imperative (e.g. Object-Oriented Programming) vs. Declarative (e.g. Functional Programming)
• Core concepts in Functional Programming: side effects, pure functions, function composition via higher-order functions, immutability, and more
• JavaScript's Native Array Methods: each, filter, map and reduce (among others)

 Who this workshop is for:

This workshop is for learners with some programming experience, preferably with JavaScript. You should understand JavaScript syntax and fundamental concepts like arrays, objects, loops, and functions.

If you are earlier along in your learning journey, you should look for other introductory-level workshops (https://www.hackreactor.com/events) that are better suited for your skillset and study progress.
