Functional programming concepts have made their way into frontend web application development. We will start by looking at ClojureScript and Om framework, how immutable data helps drive a reactive UI, and what benefits uni-directional data-flow has for web apps.

Then we will step back and see how all those ideas can be applied to your regular JavaScript code, helping move on from the old MVC paradigm to a more flexible functional way.
