Overview of this book

JavaScript is an object-oriented programming language that is used for website development. Web pages developed today currently follow a paradigm that has three clearly distinguishable parts: content (HTML), presentation (CSS), and behavior (JavaScript). JavaScript is one important pillar in this paradigm, and is responsible for the running of the web pages. This book will take your JavaScript skills to a new level of sophistication and get you prepared for your journey through professional web development. Updated for ES6, this book covers everything you will need to unleash the power of object-oriented programming in JavaScript while building professional web applications. The book begins with the basics of object-oriented programming in JavaScript and then gradually progresses to cover functions, objects, and prototypes, and how these concepts can be used to make your programs cleaner, more maintainable, faster, and compatible with other programs/libraries. By the end of the book, you will have learned how to incorporate object-oriented programming in your web development workflow to build professional JavaScript applications.

Exercises


Lets do the following exercise:

  1. Implement multiple inheritance but with a prototypal inheritance pattern, not property copying. Here is an example:

            var my = objectMulti(obj, another_obj, a_third, { 
            additional: "properties" 
            }); 
    

    The additional property should be an own property; all the rest should be mixed into the prototype.

  2. Use the canvas example to practice. Try out different things. Here are some examples:

    • Draw a few triangles, squares, and rectangles.

    • Add constructors for more shapes, such as Trapezoid, Rhombus, Kite, and Pentagon. If you want to learn more about the canvas tag, create a Circle constructor too. It will need to overwrite the draw() method of the parent.

    • Can you think of another way to approach the problem and use another type of inheritance?

    • Pick one of the methods that uses uber as a way for a child to access its parent. Add functionality where the parents can keep track of who their children are, perhaps using a property...
