Book Description

No matter how much experience you have with JavaScript, odds are you don't fully understand the language. This concise, in-depth guide takes you inside JavaScript's this structure and object prototypes. You'll learn how they work and why they're integral to behavior delegation - a design pattern in which objects are linked, rather than cloned.

Like other books in the "You Don't Know JS" series, this and Object Prototypes dives into trickier parts of the language that many JavaScript programmers simply avoid. Armed with this knowledge, you can become a true JavaScript master. With this book you will:

• Explore how the this binding points to objects based on how the function is called
• Look into the nature of JS objects and why you'd need to point to them
• Learn how developers use the mixin pattern to fake classes in JS
• Examine how JS's prototype mechanism forms links between objects
• Learn how to move from class/inheritance design to behavior delegation
• Understand how the OLOO (objects-linked-to-other-objects) coding style naturally implements behavior delegation

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Async & Performance

  This concise yet in-depth guide focuses on new asynchronous features and performance techniques including Promises, generators, and Web Workers that let you create sophisticated single-page web applications and escape callback hell in the process.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Get Started - 2nd Ed. (Kyle Simpson)

  By learning the basic building blocks of programming, as well as JavaScript's core mechanisms, you'll be prepared to dive into the other, more in-depth books in the series and be well on your way toward true JavaScript.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Types and Grammar

  This compact guide explores JavaScript types in greater depth than previous treatments by looking at type coercion problems, demonstrating why types work, and showing you how to take advantage of these features.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: ES.Next & Beyond

  It focuses on new features available in ECMAScript 6 (ES6), the latest version of the standard upon which JavaScript is built. It dives into trickier parts of the language that many JavaScript programmers either avoid or know nothing about.
