Object-Oriented JavaScript

Overview

Build classes that encapsulate data and behavior, use prototypal inheritance to keep code DRY, and create private state with closures and IIFEs in JavaScript.

Syllabus

Objects in Depth

Objects in JavaScript encapsulate both data and functionality. You'll create, access, and modify objects to build a solid foundation for object-oriented programming.

Functions at Runtime

Functions are one of most important data structures. Learn what a "first-class function" is, learn about scope, dig into closures, and use immediately-invoked function expressions for private state.

Classes and Objects

Creating objects individually isn't sustainable. Learn how to create similar objects with ease using Classes. You'll also learn how object inheritance works through Prototypal Inheritance.

Object-Oriented Design Patterns

Discover object-oriented design patterns that can be used to create an object -- all without involving its prototype. What's more: you'll also learn how to implement private properties in objects.
