Course Headline: 🔧 Become a Functional Programmer by Building and Testing Web Applications 🔨

Why Learn Functional Programming with JavaScript? Functional programming has been a cornerstone in various programming languages for decades. However, its true potential within the JavaScript ecosystem has only recently begun to be fully realized. By embracing functional programming, developers can unlock exponential benefits, leading to more maintainable, robust, and predictable codebases.

What You'll Learn:

• 🎨 Animated Visualizations: Grasp complex concepts such as higher-order functions, lenses, persistent data, partial application, currying with the help of visual aids.
• 🚀 Master ES6 and Beyond: Understand advanced features like arrow functions, let/const declarations, template literals, destructuring, and more.
• 🌐 Handle Asynchronous Code: Learn to work with promises and the async/await syntax to manage asynchronous operations gracefully.
• ✅ Test-Driven Development (TDD): Discover how to write tests before code using Mocha and Chai, ensuring your functional applications are reliable and error-free.
• 🛠️ Design Patterns: Explore top-down and bottom-up design techniques to architect maintainable software solutions.

Course Structure:

1. Introduction to Functional Programming Concepts: Lay the foundation with an exploration of immutability, pure functions, and function composition.
2. Higher-Order Functions: Dive deep into higher-order functions and learn how they can be used to write more concise and expressive code.
3. Data Transformation with Lenses and Persistence: Understand how to safely update immutable data structures without side effects.
4. Partial Application and Currying: Learn techniques for creating specific function behaviors through partial application and currying.
5. Asynchronous Code Management with Promises & Async/Await: Tackle asynchronous code the functional way, using promises to handle non-blocking operations and async/await for a more structured approach.
6. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP): Discover how FRP can be used to handle complex asynchronous UIs and data flows.
7. Writing Unit Tests with Mocha & Chai: Master the art of writing unit tests to validate your functional JavaScript code.
8. Functional Architecture and Design Patterns: Learn about architectural approaches that complement functional programming paradigms.
9. Practical Application Development: Apply what you've learned by building a fully-functional web application using functional programming principles.
10. Best Practices and Code Examples: Get hands-on experience with real-world examples, ensuring you can implement functional programming in your own projects.
