Mastering JavaScript Functional Programming
Functional programming is a programming paradigm for developing software using functions. Learning to use functional programming is a good way to write more concise code, with greater concurrency and performance. The JavaScript language is particularly suited to functional programming.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major topics in functional programming with JavaScript to produce shorter, clearer, and testable programs.
You’ll delve into functional programming; including writing and testing pure functions, reducing side-effects, and other features to make your applications functional in nature.
Specifically, we’ll explore techniques to simplify coding, apply recursion for loopless 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 JavaScript skills you need to program functional applications with confidence.

I'm not a great writer, but since there are no reviews yet I decided to write something here (although the older print from 2017 is highly reviewed). The author deserves the recognition.
It is obvious the author has a deep understanding of the language and the use cases for functional programming concepts.
This book is magnificent. If you're interested in functional programming, and you have some JS experience, this book is THE book to start with.
Yes, the book is specifically targeted towards JS developers, but I believe many of the concepts are applicable in other languages.
Rest assured, when you've read this book you will be a better programmer.
What are you waiting for? Read it!

I read this to become better at JavaScript. Javascript is the world's most popular programming language. Need to be good at it
Functional programming blew my mind about a completely different paradigm that I didn't understand. The end bit was a bit too theoretical for me. Functional programming is something all devs need to grasp this fully. If you do not know about currying, declarative programming then read this book
