Overview:
This session covers how to use functional programming with JavaScript in real-life applications to implement client-side asynchronous processing, scheduling, and concurrency. These are complex areas that are difficult to think about or implement using straight object-oriented techniques, and become simpler with a handful of idioms that this talk demonstrates. Ajax developers (JavaScript or ActionScript) who are building applications that feature both ambient and reactive functionality, and that perform sophisticated tasks such as precompute display state or prefetch data, will benefit from this session.


This session provides:



  • A firmer understanding of closures and when to use them;

  • Insight into implementing time-based and threadlike client-side behavior in the browser.



This session was recorded at The Ajax Experience conference in Boston, Massachusetts, September 29 - October 1, 2008.
