Object-Oriented JavaScript by Don Kiely
with expert Don Kiely
JavaScript is not an object-oriented programming (OOP) language in the purest sense, but at the very least it is object-based and has some rich support for object-oriented features. You can create rich object hierarchies with objects that inherit from other objects, encapsulate data and state, and support many object-oriented features that you may be familiar with from languages like C#, C++, Java, and VB .NET. It takes a bit of discipline on the programmer's part to make effective use of JavaScript's object-oriented nature, but the result can rival the benefits of any other language. During this Live Learning event, you'll learn about JavaScript's support for basic OOP techniques. Even if you don't intend to create your own framework or implement complex object hierarchies, an understanding of these features is crucial for making sense of any third-party frameworks you use. But if you are going to create any non-trivial JavaScript applications, you'll certainly want to put these techniques to use!
