Object-Oriented JavaScript (yes, it really exists)

Did you know that JavaScript has a rich object framework for handling most OOP concepts? This talk is a crash course in object-oriented JavaScript programming covering constructors, inheritance, public and private methods, and more.

Speaker bio: Jordan Kasper

Upon arrival at his home in 1993 Jordan began disassembling his first computer... his mother was not happy. He quickly moved from hardware into programming, creating simple games on his i386 and, soon, various TI calculators. In 1997 he began working on his first web sites, they were crude and ugly. His focus has been on web application development ever since. He has worked for companies large and small, a couple startups, and is a contributor on a number of open source projects. Teaching and speaking is becoming a way of life for Jordan, and he loves evangelizing the technology he loves. In his down time he enjoys puzzles of all sorts and board games.

  Thanks for posting the slides! I had been looking forward to your presentation for several weeks, but my wife went home sick yesterday so I had to skip the meeting to take care of my daughter. Bummer. Looking forward to the video as well.

Great presentation last night, and as a follow up I'm looking for a JavaScript Developer with an understanding of Object Oriented principles for a full time position that I have open. Link to the full job description here (http://goo.gl/2Afc5). Feel free to connect with me even if this position is not a fit for what you are looking for right now.

We do Object-Oriented Javascript hardcore at Raven Tools, but it would be nice to see how others do it.

  Glad to hear it Jonathan! Keep in mind that this talk will be all about core JS OO structures, so not exactly how another shop would do it ( you should be using a framework ;) ), but I will mention a few frameworks.

Security of Object-Oriented..., would be a bonus.
Keep it up and Secure!

  Thanks for the suggestion Chuck! Are you referring to private versus public members of objects, or about security in general with JavaScript? Or something else?

  Yeah, security in a JS app would require a full-blown presentation to truly do it justice.

Will you be covering any OOP JS frameworks?

- Jordan Kasper
  
  I'd love to... and I will mention at least one, but there won't be time in an hour presentation to truly cover any. I'll be sure to include some reference links though. Thanks for bringing it up!

There have been a lot of new attendees since my last comment so I wanted to ask again: let me know if there are any specific object-oriented concepts or issues you want covered in this talk!

If you have any OO concepts you want specifically covered, let me know! We'll have to move pretty fast through the material, but I'll pay a little more attention to topics mentioned here beforehand.
