Students were really stuck on partial application #6

Closed jrhorn424 closed 8 years ago

jrhorn424 commented 9 years ago

Students were really stuck on partial application, even though the code-along was framed as a focus on a function returning another function. Is there another example we could use that doesn't rely on two parameters partially applied? Maybe a static function returned?

Not able to finish with virtual property example.

So, this is about functions returning functions not virtual properties?

Maybe scaffold with an example that shows that the function returned is always a new object, then the closure bit?

I've been thinking about the closure a bit and I'm wondering if presenting it as the function and attached data might help. Drawing a picture of the function coming back with the variables attached.

Or maybe it's just too soon.

I think this extra demo on closure went really well. Should speed things up a bit when we talk about attaching functions to the DOM.
