[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4355468-object-oriented-javascript):
|
|
|
|
|
Create scalable and reusable high-quality JavaScript applications and
|
|
|
|
|
libraries using the concepts of object-oriented programming. This book is for
|
|
|
|
|
the beginning to intermediate web developer who wants to solve web development
|
|
|
|
|
problems with smart JavaScript. It does not assume any prior knowledge of
|
|
|
|
|
JavaScript programming; however even if you already know some JavaScript,
|
|
|
|
|
there will be plenty for you to learn here.

Javascript is a weird language. Good practices make a weird language easier to
|
|
|
|
|
understand and read. That's why I was interested in writing OO JS code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thing is, this book is not just about OO. There is a bunch of "hey, if you
|
|
|
|
|
never heard about JS, here is how it works", which I believe is kinda
|
|
|
|
|
pointless (there are plenty "Starting with JS" books these days), there is a
|
|
|
|
|
bunch of browser objects (which, although "objects", I don't believe they are
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to write OO JS code) and there is plenty about reserved words and
|
|
|
|
|
what they mean (which although nice, is also unnecessary).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a bunch of mentions of things some "Douglas Crockford" which
|
|
|
|
|
made me wonder why I was reading this book instead of looking for stuff
|
|
|
|
|
Crockford wrote.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But the book explores all possibilities of writing OO code in a non-OO
|
|
|
|
|
language, have some design patterns in JS and some JS patterns which are
|
|
|
|
|
interesting.
