I wasn't expecting to watch the whole video. Great talk.
What aspects of iterating are antithetical to functional programming? What are the advantages to map, reduce, and filter over for and while loops? I'm genuinely curious, not challenging her position.
Very nicely put together. I wish she would explain everything I need to know.
A funtion that returns a function… I still don't get it.
Anjana you are amazing!
I am really surprise this video has 215 unlikes, was it some kind of a miss click
brilliant talk
Very, very, very good Anjana … // thanks //
Nice presentation! love it!
all the geeks are going nuts after watching this.. , Ok putting the fun aside , she explained the concepts clearly and in simple manner without any air of wizardary , i think a little brush up is needed on the data structures part cause she did hiccup a bit there …. , well that's all in the part of learning i guess
Awesome video.
I just wanted to add that it's kinda funny how Functional Programming is considered a "new" trend when in fact it existed way way before OOP.
wow keep up the gr8 work. really felt like a learned a lot of js
Very human presentation on subject.
I love this tutorial……
haha she's awesome
the best teacher ever.
What was the last guys question ? Couldn't hear it clearly
Unreal level of energy there!
my key takeaway was persistent data structures.
I didn't understand the example that she used for the higher order function part- 9:41
Wow.
ohhh man. this is awesome. It's nice to know that I've already been writing in a more functional style. But reading the raw math-like explanations of functional programming, I didn't really get it. This is a really helpful explanation of exactly how functional programming works in a JS conference.
She deserves all the upvotes.
She's not like a bunch of pedantic dudes who talk around and pretend as if they are intelligent, but she thoroughly understands the core and generously and effectively delivers her knowledge. I wish she was my professor.
wow.. just… wow… I've seen a whole bunch of videos on youtube and subscribed all the channels related to programming but couldn't get a decent concept of this functional programming stuff. I was even thinking that, maybe these evil programmers intentionally manufactured this fake concept of FP, which means nothing in reality, in order to waste my time. After watching this video, however, it just blew my mind. I'll even say this video changed both my life and my future career as I'll set aside this OOP which gives me tons of headaches and eager to become a FP programmer from now on. Thank you so much, you just had a huge impact on one's life.
easy listening…which is awesome 🙂
most amazing functional programmer in the world!!!.
Is there anyone on Youtube that is easy to listen like her?
I think she's a better explainer because her background is an English teacher.
it sounds to me, need for introducing functional programming is not due to having less human mistakes aka bugs in code, as she claims, but first step at working towards machine developers, or coding robots… one day.
it seems so mathematical, especially with high order functions, streamlining and creating rules and setup for AI programs to develop code. well, i don't know much about coding anyway, only time will tell 🙂 if my vision has any sense, lol
A former English teacher and that doesn't stop her from teaching!
fantastic – thanks – so many interesting ideas, clearly expressed!
very very energetic, loving and real world examples…loved the discussion so much. it was not any monotonous boring, but discussion with full of joy.
map/reduce example is very cool!!!
im not a programmer, but i finished watching this video, and ask me about anything anjana covered in this JS functional programming talk?
hope all the programming sessions are clear like this,
may I know where this lecture was given?
I am an OOP guy. but it sounds very usefull
