Prototype...don't take them for granted

Submitted Aug 11, 2016

The term Prototype in Javascript, is ambiguous in nature, and since Prototype are the foundation for inheritance in Javascript, it becomes very important :

  • To have a clear view on what Prototype of an object is
  • Why there is a confusion around Prototype
  • How they help us survive in our daily code,
  • How they play a key role in implementing inheritance.

Through this talk I wish to help my fellow developers, understand what Prototype are, and then they can go on to learn inheritance in more easier way.

NOTE : This talk will not cover a detail view on how inheritance is done in Javascript, nor will it speak about object oriented programming in Javascript.

Speaker bio

I consider myself as a beginner, even though I have been working as a Javascript developer for approx 2 years.
Because as a beginner, I have the egarness to dig into things as deeply as I could, and recently I have myself, fallen into the trap of Prototype, which took the pain of numerous tabs, scribbled paper, and some sleepless nights, to figure out what Prototype means in Javascript!
