Book Description:
This brief book explains the advantages of the object model,
inheritance, both classical and prototypical, and shows how these
concepts can be implemented in JavaScript. It also shows how object
programming (OP) opens a new world of design possibilities that go
far beyond inheritance.
This book will help the intermediate JavaScript programmer learn to
use both types of inheritance. For classical inheritance, it is
accompanied by a substantial online system (a windowing UI library) that
shows classical inheritance at its best. The same system shows how OP
“capabilities” can eliminate much of the need for inheritance.
For experienced JavaScript programmers, this book shows why most of
the old views of JavaScript’s inheritance have not done it
justice. JavaScript classes inherit from JavaScript’s prototypes, a fact
that makes JavaScript’s prototypes, when used correctly, functional
equivalents to C++ classes (not to prototypes in true prototypical
languages, like Self).
JavaScript’s object programming (not inheritance) is what separates
it from classical OOP languages like C++ and Java. Most important,
basing inheritance on JavaScript’s prototypal chain is possible, but is
not the best choice for prototypal inheritance or classical inheritance.
