Didn’t post over the weekend so here’s a couple!..

DevTube

We all get those moments when you’re all set to learn something new, today will be the day! …but day turns into night and you’re down a rabbit hole of cat videos with no idea where the time went.

DevTube changes that — focuses you to video on video of development which you can filter through via tags, speakers or just ‘discovery’..

Basics of Functional Programming with JavaScript

..and that is how I found the below video by Anjana Vakil, such a great find!

Anjana succinctly explains the fundamentals of a functional paradigm vs others, and the below in relation to it;

  • Iteration
  • Immutability
  • Pure functions

It is basic level but in the video after she devls into a deaper explaination of, ‘how do we efficiently achieve immutable data structures?’ 👽 (←watch the video to understand)
