Functional Programming in Typescript
Functional Programming in Typescript
A Practical Guide
About the Book
Learn how to write programs the functional way with Typescript and the fp-ts library! This book was written for people who are less or not at all familiar with functional programming. It explains basic functional techniques (including monads) and demonstrates their use in practical examples and projects. In those projects you deploy to the AWS cloud, work with a REST API and store information in a database.
