Teaching functional programming
I taught my students higher-order functions last week, but somehow I'm now feeling very nervous about how they felt about them. I even had a dream yesterday that my students talked with me about how they felt about learning higher-order functions and my assignment.
Teaching functional programming
@liyao I'm always a little surprised at how helpful learning functional programming was for using JavaScript.
As in, "knowing how this works in functional programming makes me understand how busted the original scoping rules are, so I can work around that if I'm stuck not using the modern closure constructs for some reason."
It's like someone handed me a map how how the trail should look that makes it easier to tell where the trail was washed out.
