Barbaric Tip of the Week is a weekly series whose main purpose is to share tiny bits of knowledge that I find specially useful and interesting.

20th of December… 2016 is drawing to an end… If you are like me you’re already freaking out about all the things that you wanted to do but didn’t. Was, by any change, learning more about functional programming one of those new year resolutions you had last year? Or something you just became more interested in throughout 2016 but you never got around to? Then today is your lucky day because I have something for you that will let you finish 2016 strong or start 2017 with great footing: The marvellous Professor Frisby Introduces Composable Functional JavaScript course.

Brian Lonsdorf brings his Professor Frisby’s Mostly Adequate Guide to Functional Programming to life in these series of great videos on functional programming available as a free course on egghead.io.

The video course is only an hour a half long with a very pragmatic approach driven by code samples. I recommend following along with your own session of jsbin or jsFiddle and tinker with the examples yourself. Hope that you enjoy it! Have an awesome week ahead!
