18. Design Patterns
19. “Extracting patterns from today's programming practices ennobles them in a way they don't deserve.” — Alan Kay
20. 22 Patterns → 1 Responsibility: Communication
23. State
26. Boundaries
27. Tools
29. “enormous, […] but not stronger” “inherent defects at the most basic level” “primitive word-at-a-time style” “close coupling of semantics to state transitions” “division […] into […] expressions & […] statements” “inability to use powerful combining forms” “lack of useful mathematical properties for reasoning”
31. “We've got things back-asswards today: we let Intel make processors that may or may not be good for anything, then the programmer's job is to make Intel look good, by making code that will actually somehow run on it.” — Alan Kay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubaX1Smg6pY
32. “[W]e were able to do the operating system, the programming language, the applications and the user interface in about 10,000 lines of code. Now it's true that we were able to build our own computers, that makes a huge difference.” — Alan Kay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubaX1Smg6pY

44. Language
45. “That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted.” — George Boole
46. x2 + 10x = 39 vs. http://worrydream.com/MediaForThinkingTheUnthinkable/
47. “Language is a user interface for ideas.” — Me (and probably other people)

51. • Events • Callbacks • Promises • Database cursors • Arrays • etc. Streams (aka observables, aka sequences)
53. • …show list of incomplete tasks for a given user • …display the title and priority • …sorted by date Given a list of tasks… http://scott.sauyet.com/Javascript/Talk/2014/01/FuncProgTalk

56. var taskPipeline = (member) => { return pipe( 'tasks', filter({ member }), reject({ complete: true }), pick(['id', 'dueDate', 'title', 'priority']), sortBy('dueDate') ); }; var pipeline = taskPipeline(memberName); return fetchData().then(pipeline);
57. 'id' pipline = (member) => { 'tasks', filter: { member }, reject: { complete: true }, pick: 'dueDate', sortBy: 'dueDate' } 'title' 'priority'

60. Task List [{…}, {…}, {…}] → SELECT * from tasks owner = “Nate” → array_filter(…) “title (countdown)” → <li> <?=$title … ?> </li> duedate → usort(…)
61. Task List [{…}, {…}, {…}] → SELECT title, duedate, (…) as countdown FROM tasks WHERE owner = “Nate” ORDERBY duedate “title (countdown)” → <li> <?=$title … ?> </li>
