Learn Jspm, Purescript and Sequelize

PureScript is a small strongly, statically typed language inspired by Haskell and compiles to JavaScript. This means no run-time errors, human readable output, ADTs, and pattern matching (and more!) all at your fingertips.

In this course we will use an [online editor](http://try.purescript.org/) to show basics into PureScript with an instant visual representation, investigate the type system and ways to reason about common programing problems with PureScript. 

As we explore the type system and common problems that are faced when programming in PureScript we will learn plenty of functional programming concepts as PureScript is a purely functional language.

PureScript is a small strongly typed programming language that compiles to JavaScript.

Functional Programming Concepts in Purescript

In this lesson, we'll see how we can get JSON decoding for free in PureScript using the Simple-JSON library. Because PureScript is a pretty powerful language, we can just declare what type we want the result to go into and get it for free!

Sequelize is a promise-based ORM for Node.js and io.js. It supports the dialects PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL and features solid transaction support, relations, read replication and more.

Sequelize attribute getters and setters are a convenient way to encapsulate extra logic for model properties. In this video, we'll cover adding getters and setters to enhance and even virtualize a column.

jspm is a package manager for the SystemJS universal module loader, built on top of the dynamic ES6 module loader.

JSPM can handle installed packages, transpiling ES6, and bundling all from the command-line. This video gives a quick overview of install JSPM, installing packages with JSPM, writing a very simple app in ES6 that uses those packages, then bundling up for production.

An Introduction to JSPM (JavaScript Package Manager)

Models in the Node.js ORM, Sequelize, can be expanded with both class level and instance level functions. This video will show you how to extend your models to add helpers or business logic, and explain the methods execution scope.

Sequelize: Class & Instance Methods

Javascript and database systems tend to be at odds with regard to how tables and columns should be named. Sequlize provides all the tools necessary to satisfy naming conventions in both your Node.js code and in your SQL database.
