Class keyword - Object Creation in JavaScript P7 - Fun Fun Function

💖 Support the show by becoming a Patreon   / funfunfunction   The class keyword was added to JavaScript in ES6. On the surface, class seems to works like you’d expect, but if you look just a little closer you’ll see that class is just a thin veil on top of the existing prototypal inheritance model. In this video, I try to convince you that you should focus on learning JavaScript inheritance properly, in order to understand the mechanics of the class keyword in JavaScript. This series is called Object Creation in JavaScript, and is meant to be a deep dive in how object creation works in JavaScript, the different ways that you can create objects and how it all fits together. 🔗 Series Playlist - Object Creation in JavaScript [   • bind and this - Object Creation in JavaScr...   🔗 Inline evaluation plugin https://quokkajs.com/ 🔗 Composition over inheritance    • Composition over Inheritance   🔗 The ’new’ keyword    • The 'new' keyword - Object Creation in Jav...   🔗 Functional Programming in JavaScript series    • Higher-order functions - Part 1 of Functio...   🔗 Help translate the show to your language http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_p... 💛 Follow on Twitch and support by becoming a Subscriber We record the show live Mondays 7 AM PT   / funfunfunction   💛 Fun Fun Forum Private discussion forum with other viewers in between shows. https://www.funfunforum.com.

Most coding content out there focus on step-by-step tutorials. We think tutorials are too far removed from what everyday development is like. Instead, FFF has created a completely new learning environment where we grow from failure, by solving problems while intensively interacting with a live audience. Tutorials try to solve a problem. Failing Together makes you grow as a developer and coworker. 📹 Each show is recorded live on Twitch in a 2-hour livestream on Mondays. The host, assisted by the audience, is tasked to complete a programming challenge by an expert guest. Like in the real world, we often fail, and learn from it. This, of course, reflects what the audience identifies with, and is one of the most praised aspects of the show. ⏯ On Fridays, an edited version of the show is adapted for and published on YouTube. Content Topics revolve around: JavaScript, Functional Programming, Software Architecture, Quality Processes, Developer Career and Health, Team Collaboration, Software Development, Project Management
