Functional Programing For Everyday Use

Hey there, fellow developer enthusiasts!

Ever found yourself in the vast wilderness of online courses, desperately searching for a functional programming guide that doesn't feel like decoding hieroglyphics? Yeah, me too! That's precisely why I decided to embark on creating a course that's not just about functional programming but also about making it as easy to digest as your favorite snack.

Welcome to the Functional Programming Fiesta! 🚀

Let's keep it real —functional programming can be as intimidating as trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual. But fear not, because I've been there, stumbled through it, and thought, "Hey, why not create a course that I wish I had when I started?"

In this course, we're going to break down functional programming concepts like pure functions, immutability, and ** function composition**. And guess what? We're doing it all in TypeScript because we can cover the full stack of web development with TS.

Our main focus? Giving you the tools and tricks to seamlessly integrate functional programming into your day-to-day TypeScript full-stack development. We're talking about real-world scenarios, not just theoretical mumbo-jumbo. Think of it as your programming survival kit for the developer jungle.

So, if you're ready to level up your coding game, join me on this journey. No complex jargon(almost), no sleep-inducing lectures—just a laid-back, easy-to-digest guide to functional programming in TypeScript. Let's turn those functional dreams into everyday code reality!

Is this course for you ?

I dare to say that this question can only be answered by you, does any of this ring any bell for you?

• You get question marks when you read something like this : multiplyBy(5)(10);
• You or your team often find it hard to create unit tests
• You found redux hard to learn
• You have weird bugs on your systems
• You often find yourself breaking things on your system out of the blue.

If you got a yes, I can say that taking this course will benefit you more than harm you.

What you are NOT going to find in this course

• Guide of how to pass a google interview ( or any tech giant )
• Deep explanation of the math concepts of functional programming ( sorry you can not go to brag about that later 🐨 )

See you in the course! 🚀✨
