Before readingWhy I picked it up

Found his writing and guides online. Putting in a lot more focus on getting better at javascript.

After readingPosted

'Almost' everything in Javascript is an Object; JavaScript-Object to be exact. Similar but different than more classical OOP languages like C++ or Java. The patterns are still useful to know and I learned a lot about the inner workings of the language through exploring how certain OOP features would be replicated in JavaScript. Although the trend is moving towards more Functional Programming paradigms I still got a lot of value out of the book which demystified certain quirks in the language.

Three reasons to read it

  1. Learn about JavaScripts Object Oriented Nature.
  2. You're a front-end engineer.
  3. You want to learn more about OOO programming.
