The ability to compartmentalize code is vital to effective, efficient, and readable code. Functions allow us to do all this and much more; they are very easy use and hold great power. Below are 3 online resources that can enhance your knowledge and execution of functions.

1. Eloquent Javascript - Chapter 3
This chapter of Eloquent Javascript is very insightful in the function of, well, Functions.Eloquent Javascript takes the reader though all the basic operations and uses of functions. Furthermore, Eloquent Javascript is a very well designed web page more akin to an e-book than a tutorial page, it would look very good on a mobile browser.

2. Code Academy - Functions in Javascript
I am a big fan of Code Academy and its interactive web page style. It encompasses an info bar and an activity space. This way, you can read the theory and try it out on the same page. Furthermore, they offer a ton of useful exercises to hone your Javascript skills.
