A big hurdle for WordPress Developers when jumping into Javascript development is the paradigm switch from PHP’s Class based classical inheritance to Javascript’s more Functional prototypal inheritance.
In this talk we will be taking an in-depth look at how objects work in Javascript. We will also be look at different ways to handle inheritance in Javascript. In addition to reviewing what JS Prototypes are, we will also spend some time looking at object creation patterns in JS. How they differ from PHP, and in some ways how they are similar. We will even cover cool things that Javascript lets us do like borrowing methods from other objects. And much much more.
