• These days, most any developer will admit to having some knowledge of building applications with JavaScript. But very few do so with a strong level of confidence in how and why the code they bring together actually does what they want. When you don't understand why code works, you have no hope of understanding why it breaks and how to fix it, so you're left with just guesses. In this course, we're going to dive deep into the core mechanics of JS, specifically two main pillars of the language: scope/closures and this/object prototypes. We'll fully explore these mechanics from the inside out, to gain a profound new level of understanding about how our code really works. Topics covered include: nested lexical scopes, block scoping, hoisting, closure, modules, 'this' keyword, object prototypes, 'class' keyword, and delegation.
