Beginning Object-Oriented Programming with JavaScript (LO035402)

JavaScript is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. Born as a simple glue between the user and HTML, it has evolved over the years and has acquired an increasingly important role in modern software development. Today, its scope is no longer just the web browser. Now, it also resides on the server, desktop PCs, mobile devices, and even embedded devices.

JavaScript has now become a language to create complex applications. Beginning Object-Oriented Programming with JavaScript explains how we can write robust and efficient code with JavaScript to create scalable and maintainable applications.

The purpose of this course is to cover all the new object-oriented features introduced in ECMAScript 2015 and show how to build large-scale web apps that promote scalability, maintainability, and reusability. It is ideal for development teams that are thinking of using JavaScript for full-stack web development so that they only need to worry about one language across the entire stack.

COURSE OBJECTIVE:
This course begins with a subtle refresher on objects. It teaches you how easy it is to define objects with the new ECMAScript classes. From there, we'll fly you through some essential OOP principles, forming a base for you to get hands-on with encapsulation.

You'll get to work with the different methods of inheritance. From there, we'll move on to some advanced patterns for object creation, and you'll get a strong idea of how to use interesting patterns to present data to users and to bind data. You'll manage dynamic typing using various data types and get familiar with duck typing and polymorphism.

You'll explore various presentations such as MVC and MVP, along with implementing data binding.

By the end of this course, you'll discover whether JavaScript is asynchronous and learn to write asynchronous code using callbacks and events.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is for existing developers who are new to OOP in JavaScript. They will be looking to build their understanding of modern web development, using the features from the latest changes to the ECMAScript specification.
