Where is the workshop he mentions that talks about call/apply/bind?

I want to learn about call/apply/bind. Huston mentions a workshop about them but I cannot find it.

I don't recall encountering such a workshop, but the Understanding "this" is near the bottom of the chronological list of JS workshops, making it one of the oldest surviving ones. It's possible the workshop was planned but never finished. It's also quite possible there was a workshop on call/apply/bind that was retired. The new arrow functions in ES6 don't work with call and apply at all, and bind can only be used to curry them, not alter this.

If you are looking for a video explanation of bind with this, I highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhbhD1HR5vk
