Discover functional programming patterns with RamdaJS. Learn about pure functions, currying, and point-free style while deepening your knowledge of map, filter, and reduce methods.

We know the functional programming (FP) hype train's been riding strong the past few years, especially in the JavaScript community. We extol FP in countless books, videos, and blog posts, with no sign of slowing down.

As a result this course isn't to convince you, today's JS developer, of how awesome FP is. I'm simply sharing some popular patterns using Ramda, an FP library that I've blogged on many times.

Before going through them, though, we will lay the groundwork with concepts like pure functions, currying, and point-free style.

You're already doing FP through map, filter, reduce, and Lodash, so why not dive a bit deeper and see if you like it down here?

Functional Programming Patterns With RamdaJS!

### Thank You So Much
I hope this course was enjoyable and beneficial. I certainly had fun making it!

Functional programming's very involved, but Ramda can immediately improve your data-manipulation logic without category theory or even new types.

_You're just using JavaScript_.

### Next Steps
This course briefly touched on functors, but there's many more types including Monads, Monoids, Groups, and Semigroups.

If FP's been interesting thus far, consider exploring them more. [This book's](https://mostly-adequate.gitbooks.io/mostly-adequate-guide/) a great start.

Other than that, start using Ramda or Lodash FP in your projects! See how you can refactor or create new functional pipelines.
