Introducing Functional JavaScript

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:01:23 -0500

The book uses and builds on the Underscore library to highlight and explain functional programming techniques. It’s not intended as a full reference to Underscore.js, but is instead about functional programming in JavaScript. You have to wait for the release to see it all, but a high-level outline of the chapters is as follows: Chapter 1: Getting started
Chapter 2: First-class functions and applicative programming
Chapter 3: Variable scope and closures
Chapter 4: Higher-order functions
Chapter 5: Function building functions
Chapter 6: Recursion
Chapter 7: Purity, immutability and policies for change
Chapter 8: Flow-based programming
Chapter 9: Programming without class
This book has been a long time in the works in some form or another and I think that despite all of the setbacks getting here, now is the best time for it to see the light.

GNOME now recommends JavaScript for authoring GNOME applications

Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:01:28 -0600

GNOME now recommends JavaScript for authoring GNOME applications:

For information on what this means for the near future of GNOME desktop development, see JavaScript in GNOME. Although it looks like they’re using SpiderMonkey rather than Node, Jérémy Lal sent in an email detailing his positive experiences with node-gir (GitHub: creationix / node-gir, npm: gir) by Tim Caswell which provides bindings for GObject Introspection.

These bindings can be used to make dynamic calls to any library that has GI annotations installed – Jérémy said he was using it to generate PDFs from HTML.

Typecast.js - Type Casting for Javascript

Typecast.js

In a sentence, Typecast solves all the simple problems, so you can focus on the big ones.

Typecast fixes what’s wrong with Javascript by creating a complete platform for strongly-typed variables in Javascript. It works both in a browser and on Node.js servers. Typecast pairs well with jQuery by providing strongly typed variables without altering Javascript’s native prototypes or requiring a custom compiler such as CoffeeScript, TypeScript or Clojure.

Typecast is a replacement to underscore.js. Underscore provides 60 helper functions, while Typecast provides all the same function and over 300 more. Typecast speeds development by reducing the length and variety of code required to complete common programming tasks, reducing both the number of bugs and the troubleshooting time to hunt them down.
