The goal of this talk is not to downplay or shortchange the importance jQuery has and will continue to play in Web Development. <\/p>\n
It is however a talk, which will cover some Javascript concepts every Web Developer should know.
\n Primarily:
\n -Higher Order Functions (Map, Filter, Reduce)
\n -Object Compositions vs. Classical Inheritance.
\n -Closures – Understanding Closure will unlock Javascript’s full power.<\/p>\n
Lastly, we will bring it all together, and show some slightly more advanced examples of why Higher Order Functions, Composition, and Closures are so important to understand. Hint: Functional Composition, and partially applied functions.<\/p>\n
For new developers, you will get a good sense of what Javascript can do for you. You will also learn some less technical Javascript concepts like:
\n -Functions are first class citizens
\n -What do multi-dimensional arrays look like in Javascript
\n -Why it seems like almost everything is an Object in Javascript.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
