Agenda ,[object Object]
Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript
Useful JavaScript Patterns, Tricks, and Style Guidelines
JavaScript in Titanium Mobile
Further Reading,[object Object]
“JavaScript is the incredibly hot girl at the party that brings her loser boyfriend DOM” Tom Robinson Founder, 280 North
JavaScript – What is it good for? ,[object Object]
Object-Oriented (Prototypical Inheritance)… or not
Flexible Objects
First-Class Functions
Built for event-driven UI,[object Object]
Covers the good and bad
I use patterns from this book every time I write JS
Buy/read/love,[object Object]
Global Variables  app.js some/library.js
Truthy and Falsy ,[object Object]
false
0
‘’
null
undefined
NaN
Truthy Values:
Everything else
Almost always, you want === and !==,[object Object]
typeof is a liar
there’s more (http://wtfjs.com ),  but let’s skip to…
The Good Parts
Expressive Object Literals
Easy Object Serialization
First Class Functions
Closures
Flexible Objects
Duck Typing
…plus it’s EVERYWHERE. one could develop all kinds of software applications with nothing else.
OOP! (There it is!)
JavaScript has Prototypal Inheritance, which creates new copies of objects from an existing object (the prototype) there’s much more to it than this, but we’ll keep it mostly high level…
Object Constructors * The capital first letter is by convention, not requirement.
Object Prototype
we could have also wrote…
…but object instantiation using the prototype to define functions/properties is faster. http://ejohn.org/blog/simple-class-instantiation mentions this and other methods for…
Inheritance (One Approach)
JavaScript doesn’t support multiple inheritance, but there are multiple libraries that handle that and more, including underscore.js http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/#extend
Parasitic Inheritance  ,[object Object]
Add new features and functionality to it (the parasites, if you will)
Pass it off as an instance of a new object
Slightly slower than .prototype but more flexible (and inescapable in certain cases),[object Object]
Useful Tricks
Self-Calling Function ,[object Object]
Self-calling function provides encapsulation
Both forms at right are valid, second is preferred,[object Object]
Uses functional scope to provide a public interface to a module

  1. A closure is a function, with a referencing environment for the free variables (arguments) to that function – it provides the function with a scope, that will live on for the life of the closure. It’s also the only way to create scope in JavaScript.
