Last read book: Functional JavaScript Introducing Functional Programming with Underscore.js

During reading the documentation on underscore.js I found out the link to the book Functional javascript. For a long time I had postponed the learning of this theme and now I can fill the gap in my knowledge of functional programming and javascript techniques.

This book has positive and negative reviews, but in my opinion this book is more of a practical approach. Can I recommend to to anyone? In my opinion, yes. Of course, you cannot master the functional programming only by this book. It gives you a lot of information and directions in where to find more information.

What I like about this book is a good bibliography and a reference to useful javascript libraries.

Here is the interesting list of  libraries that draws my attention:

1. Functional javascript
2. RxJS
3. Bilby
4. allong.es

Here is the interesting list of books that draws my attention:

  Sussman, and Julie Sussman (MIT Press, 1996)

  Hall, 1998)
