The article ES6 Strings and Template Literals introduced you to the syntax of ES6 strings and template literals. However, if you wanted to use ES6 template literals for microtemplating, the article itself does not help you. In this article, you […]
UnderscoreJs
Most developers emphasize immutability when dealing with functional programming. Code written in functional style is testable, because the functions operate on data treated as immutable. In practice though, I see this principle violated from time to time. I will present […]
Introduction to Immutable.js
A higher order function is a function whose argument list or return value includes a function. Knowledge about higher order functions is essential when writing programs both in functional and in object oriented style. Why is functional programming good? When […]

JavaScript made its way from being a toy language for simple animations to becoming a language for client side and server side web application development. Some generic concepts also made their way to the JavaScript world and developers become more […]
Cloning Objects in JavaScript
Writing maintainable code is not easy in any frameworks or libraries. The fact that BackboneJs does not tie your hands makes your work even harder. Therefore, I will give you ten tips on tidying up your Backbone code. While some […]
Ten Tips for Writing Maintainable Code in BackboneJs
ES6 is here, and it comes with modules. I found the syntax cool. As experiments widen our horizons and they are often fun, I thought I would share my learnings with you. If you would like to follow the steps […]
Using ES6 Modules with Webpack
Most software are developed by applying the principles of object oriented programming or functional programming. We will practice the latter approach by solving a problem related to presentation and filtering of data. We will use the UnderscoreJs library for the […]
Underscore Templating
UnderscoreJs is a utility-belt library for Javascript providing a set of functions well known from the world of functional programming. These utility functions allow software development in a stateless way, without side-effects. Javascript objects have to be treated as immutable […]
