JavaScript assignment [partially] live

@Duke-PL-Course
We have written up the first 4 problems of the JavaScript assignment. Please take a look at it prior to class so you have a chance to ask questions. We realize that the last homework assignment may have been rather challenging, so we tried to lighten the load on this one. We also want you to have the opportunity to ask questions as soon as possible, so we are releasing this as we create it.

A lot of the questions have a focus on some functions that are essential to functional programming (map, filter, reduce). We want to prepare you for some of the more functional languages we will deal with, so writing your own version of these three functions will hopefully aid your understanding. The other ones deal with testing your basic JavaScript syntax, as well as understanding prototype-based inheritance (to be released). Finally, the bonus question will involve implementing the waterfall control structure as seen in async.js. waterfall is similar to the series function; however, it allows you to pass additional parameters to each successive callback.

Good luck and see you in class Tuesday!
