Functional programming is a programming paradigm that uses functions for developing software. This book is filled with examples that enable you to leverage the latest JavaScript and TypeScript versions to produce modern and clean code, as well as teach you to how apply functional programming techniques to develop more efficient algorithms, write more concise code, and simplify unit testing.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major topics in functional programming to produce shorter, clearer, and testable programs. You’ll begin by getting to grips with writing and testing pure functions, reducing side effects, as well as other key features to make your applications functional in nature. The book specifically explores techniques to simplify coding, apply recursion, perform high-level coding, learn ways to achieve immutability, implement design patterns, and work with data types.
By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the practical programming skills needed to confidently enhance your applications by adding functional programming to wherever it’s most suitable.

Writing a book involves many people, and even if I cannot mention and name all of them, there are some who really deserve to be highlighted.
At Packt Publishing, I want to thank Larissa Pinto, senior acquisition editor, for proposing the theme for this book and helping me get started with it. Thanks must also go to Mohammed Yusuf Imaratwale, content development editor, and Ralph Rosario, technical editor, for their help in giving shape to the book and making it clearer and better structured. I also want to send my appreciation to the reviewers, Gerónimo García Sgritta and Steve Perkins, who went through the initial draft, enhancing it with their comments.
There are some other people who deserve extra consideration. This book was written under unusual circumstances, around 10,000 miles away from home! I had gone from Uruguay, where I live, to work on a project in India, and that’s where I wrote every single page of the text. This would not have been possible if I hadn’t had complete support from my family, who stayed in Montevideo, but who were constantly nearby, thanks to the internet and modern communication. In particular, I must single out my wife, Sylvia Tosar, not only for supporting and aiding me both with the project and the book but also for dealing with everything and the rest of the family on her own in Uruguay—this book wouldn’t have been possible otherwise, and she is the greatest reason the book could be written!
For the second edition: Revisiting and expanding a book for a second edition was an interesting task. I had great support and must thank Aamir Ahmed, content development editor; Jane D’Souza, technical editor; and Crystian Bietti and Steve Perkins (again, for double merit!), the reviewers who helped produce a much better text.
For the third edition: Expanding the book for a third edition was, once more, a challenging task. In this case, I had support from Bhavya Rao, publishing product manager; Mark D’Souza, senior editor; Joseph Aloocaran, technical editor; and Anu Nagan and Markandey Pathak, reviewers, all of whom greatly aided my work, aiming for an even higher quality final text.

Kereki has given talks on functional programming at public conferences (such as JSCONF 2016 and Development Week Santiago 2019) and has used functional programming techniques to develop internet systems for businesses in Uruguay and abroad.
His current interests tend toward software quality and software engineering – with Agile methodologies topmost – while on the practical side, he works with diverse languages, tools, and frameworks, and Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) wherever possible!
He resides, works, and teaches in Uruguay, but he wrote the first edition of this book while working in India, and the second edition during a sojourn in Mexico; the third edition was the first actually completed in his homeland!
