JavaScript - The weird parts

You did "some jQuery" but don't feel as if you know the ins and outs of JavaScript? Ever wondered what the deal is with that this thing? What is a promise and why should you care?

If you know the JavaScript basics but want to dive a little deeper into the language, this is your chance. This meetup we will go over:

• Classes and prototypal inheritance

• Scope in JavaScript

• The this paradox

• Truthy and falsy-ness

• Callbacks, promises and asynchronous programming

• ECMAScript 5 and 6

We'll also implement our own mini jQuery and learn that it isn't made out of magic and unicorns.
