If you've used a more traditional object-oriented language, such as C++ or Java, JavaScript probably doesn't seem object-oriented at all. It has no concept of classes, and you don't even need to define any objects in order to write code. But don't be fooled-JavaScript is an incredibly powerful and expressive object-oriented language that puts many design decisions right into your hands.

In The Principles of Object-Oriented JavaScript, Nicholas C. Zakas thoroughly explores JavaScript's object-oriented nature, revealing the language's unique implementation of inheritance and other key characteristics. You'll learn- -The difference between primitive and reference values -What makes JavaScript functions so unique -The various ways to create objects -How to define your own constructors -How to work with and understand prototypes -Inheritance patterns for types and objects

The Principles of Object-Oriented JavaScript will leave even experienced developers with a deeper understanding of JavaScript. Unlock the secrets behind how objects work in JavaScript so you can write clearer, more flexible, and more efficient code.

Reviews for The Principles Of Object-oriented Javascript

Completely changes my understanding of JavaScript...The best part of the book is its concise nature and the way it explains concepts. --Javin Paul, Java Revisited
