## What it is
A NodeSchool-style interactive workshop that teaches fundamental functional programming in JavaScript using only vanilla ES5, with no libraries like underscore. Learners solve graded exercises via a CLI that runs and verifies their solution files.

## Use cases
- learn functional programming in javascript
- practice map filter reduce exercises
- self-study javascript without libraries
- nodeschool workshopper tutorial
- interactive coding exercises for ES5
- verify javascript exercise solutions from the terminal

## When to choose
- you want to learn functional programming basics in vanilla JavaScript
- you prefer hands-on, self-paced CLI exercises with automatic verification
- you want to avoid dependency on utility libraries like underscore or lodash

## When to avoid
- you need modern ES6+ syntax and features
- you want a video course or guided classroom curriculum
- you need a maintained resource with active updates and support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools, testing
- domain: tutorials, programming-languages, education
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: functional-programming, nodeschool, workshopper, es5, javascript, self-paced-learning, exercises, command-line, nodejs
