Book Description

This book teaches the programming language ReasonML by Facebook. It is also an introduction to functional programming. Especially people familiar with C-style languages (Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) will profit from ReasonML's familiar syntax.

In short, ReasonML is a new dialect of OCaml with a toolset that’s more suitable for Javascript developers. It was initiated by Facebook as a way to improve how front end developers write code by avoiding lots of bugs caused by Javascript not having a sound type system.

The target audience of this book is web developers who are somewhat familiar with ReactJS and who want to learn why ReasonML is the future of ReactJS.

• Hands on learning by building a real world app shell that includes client-side routing and more.
• Understand Reason’s ecosystem including BuckleScript and various npm workflows.
• Learn how Reason differs from TypeScript and Flow, and how to use it to make refactoring less stressful.

• Axel specializes in JavaScript and web development. He has been developing web applications since 1995. In 1999, he was technical manager at a German Internet startup that later expanded internationally. In 2006, he held his first talk on Ajax. In 2010, he received a Ph.D. in Informatics from the University of Munich.
