Byte-Sized-Chunks: Dynamic Prototypes in Javascript

Master Javascript's way of doing inheritance - via Dynamic Prototypes!

Javascript objects, prototypes and JSON - that's what this course is about.

This is not a course on Javascript frameworks - its about solid, fundamental Javascript. You'll be surprised by how much more you can get done on your web pages once you learn these technologies the right way.


What do we mean by that?

Relatively few folks formally learn HTML, CSS or Javascript, because its quite easy to get stuff done in these technologies in a "quick-and-dirty way".
That "quick-and-dirty" way of learning and doing leads to problems over time, because Javascript and CSS are actually quite complex, so it is easy to do things the wrong way
This course will help, because it is entirely built atop examples. Each is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a simple, specific use-case. Each example is simple, but not simplistic.
What's Included:

Prototypes are Javascript's way of doing inheritance, and its very different from the C++/Java way of doing it.
JSON is not conceptually difficult to use, but it is incredibly important, and you should understand why - because its the glue between backends written in Java or other traditional languages, and front-ends written in Javascript
The Document-Object-Model is what ties Javascript back to HTML and CSS. Together with JSON, the DOM ties it all together from server to skin.
