Explore ReasonML's growing popularity and its strong-typed syntax for JavaScript. Learn about creating data objects, functions, and data structures through interactive quizzes and exercises.

ReasonML has been skyrocketing in popularity lately, and for good... reason. Very recently developed by Facebook, it provides users a strong-typed, clean, and efficient syntax for JavaScript, which makes it great for web development. 

This course will get you up to speed programming in Reason. You'll start by learning how to create simple data objects and build up to more powerful tools such as functions and data structures. Along the way, interactive quizzes and exercises will help you gain a stronger grasp of the language.

Anyone looking to put themselves on the cutting-edge of web development would be well served to have a look at this course.

Functional Programming with ReasonML

# The Purpose of an Object

An object is an entity which is made up of several **values** and **functions** which operate on these values. We can use objects to represent a complete application or a component in an application.

Let's take the example of a car object. It has several values such as its *manufacturer*, *color*, *top speed*, etc. Based on these attributes, the car can perform certain functions such as *driving*, *accelerating*, *refueling*, etc.





This brief chapter will showcase the functionality of Reason objects.
