OOP (JavaScript)

Catalog description

JavaScript is a scripting language of the web. As the web evolves from a static to a dynamic environment, technology focus is shifting from static markup and styling—frequently handled by content management systems or automated scripts—to dynamic interfaces and advanced interaction. Once seen as optional, JavaScript is now becoming an integral part of the web, infusing every layer with its script. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) refers to using self-contained pieces of code to develop applications. IT professionals call these self-contained pieces of code objects, better known as Classes in most OOP programming languages and Functions in JavaScript. IT professionals use objects as building blocks for our applications. Building applications with objects allows us to adopt some valuable techniques. In this course students will build their understanding of JavaScript piece by piece, from core principles like variables, data types, conditionals, and functions through advanced topics including loops, closures, DOM printing, and learn Inheritance and Encapsulation since only these two concepts apply to OOP in JavaScript; in JavaScript objects can encapsulate functionalities and inherit methods and properties from other objects.
