FAQ
What is modern JavaScript (ES6+)?
ES6 (or ECMAScript 2015) and later versions introduced many improvements and new features to the JavaScript language, making it more powerful and expressive.
What is functional programming?
It's a programming style where you build programs by treating computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoiding mutable data and side effects.
What does 'clean and maintainable code' mean?
It means writing code that is easy to read, understand, and modify by you or other programmers in the future, without introducing errors.
