What you’ll learn:
In depth understanding of JavaScript’s Object system
How THIS keyword, NEW keyword, classes and prototype work in JS

Requirements
Basic understanding of JavaScript

Description
JavaScript is that language that you need to know to build applications that work across the platforms and knowing about the JS from the point of the language specification is really important.

In this course, we will cover the in-depth analysis and understanding of

THIS keyword

Binding that impacts the behavior of this keyword

NEW keyword

Arrow functions

Classes

Prototypes

Prototypal Class

Prototype Chain

Prototype-based Inheritance

Shadowing Prototypes

Classical vs Prototype-based Inheritance

The object system is one of the strongest pillars of JavaScript, the other being the Scope system. The course goes in-depth to understand not only what these features are but also why certain features behave in such strange ways. The strangeness comes mostly from the fact that we all have learned different languages academically. And because the roots of the JS languages is derived from many other languages, it is interesting to see how certain things work differently(which makes them strange to us, hopefully not by the end of the course ? )

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with a solid understanding of how the object system works in JavaScript. It will lead you to master other advanced concepts quite easily. It will also improve your ability in writing solid JS code that is concise and clear in intent.

Who this course is for
JavaScript developers who want to build a solid understanding of JS Object system
JavaScript developers who want to understand the ES6 class system and how behind the scene JavaScript creates it
