An Important Correction

At 0:55, the instructor states that JavaScript is not a true object-oriented language. This is not quite the case:

JavaScript is in fact an object-oriented language - a prototype-based, object oriented language. What it is not is a class-based, object oriented language.

Classical and Prototypical methods are two ways of creating objects, but objects they definitely are in both cases.

We can discuss the subject in TTH but there are several articles/threads that do so already:

http://www.engfers.com/2008/08/29/javascript-is-not-truly-object-oriented/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/107464/is-javascript-object-oriented http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5852583/is-javascript-an-object-oriented-language

And even in TTH:
