Reference Conventions:
Each section points to specific sections of the pertinent specification for any given subject matter, and for ECMAScript, with a linked section marker. For example ECMAScript defines the standard for JavaScript (§ 1).
All references used in this class are linked from the Web Development Resources page.
Browsers provide debuggers that can be launched from a breakpoint, the application's menu, keyboard shortcut, or the debugger keyword in the script.
Passing around lists of parameters? Typechecking arguments? Stop doing that. Here's how to make your code clearer and less error-prone.
There are five primitive types in JavaScript: Null, Undefined, Boolean, String, Number. Various operations in JavaScript require conversion to and from primitive values.
Event Delegation and the Cascade.
Functions are callable objects with an internal [[Scope]] property. Learn how to call functions and pass functions to other functions, where they can be later called.
Sort, map, filter, and more.
Prerequisite: Functions.
The prototype chain is used for reading property resolution.
User-defined functions can be used to construct new objects. Objects have, on their prototype chain, the constructor's prototype.
Prerequisite: Functions.
This class covers closures.
Prerequisite: Functions.
Fire custom events from your own user-defined objects.
Prerequisite: Functions.
Prerequisite: Scope Chain and Identifier Resolution.
Singleton with information hiding in function scope.
Prerequisite: Functions.
Prerequisite: Scope Chain and Identifier Resolution.
Prerequisite: Custom Events.
Two Event Registry interface objects that share a similar signature, each with a different implementation detail suited for a specific task. The Devil's in the details -- encapsulate them!
An abstract system for event notification.
Prerequisite: Functions.
Prerequisite: Scope Chain and Identifier Resolution.
An system for DOM event notification, designed to handle delegation and specific event models.
Prerequisite: Functions.
Prerequisite: Scope Chain and Identifier Resolution.
The Factory pattern, the Decorator pattern, newApply, and the holy grail: Abstract Factory.
Prerequisite: Functions.
Prerequisite: Parameter Object
