Global variables can be accessed by using ${bamboo.globalVarName}.

Indeed, any object that uses the Fruit () constructor will inherit all the Fruit.prototype properties and methods and all the properties and methods from the Fruit’s prototype, which is Plant.prototype.

But, this code looks a little bit junky, right?

init: function( name ){

The this keyword evaluates to the value of the ThisBinding of the current execution context.

this value is taken from the this value of the calling execution context

a.b(); //window

foo

Baseless

There are three types of execution context: global, function and evaluation

scope object

partial function application

function declarations have two advantages over function expressions

constructor Function()

The Three Roles of Functions in JavaScript

The two cornerstones of Ajax are loading content asynchronously in the background (via XMLHttpRequest) and dynamically updating the current page with the results (via dynamic HTML).

JavaScript does not have integers

Influences

It’s dynamically typed

Prototypes

arrays in JavaScript are too flexible: they are not indexed sequences of elements, but maps from numbers to elements.

JavaScript is always deployed as source code and compiled by JavaScript engines.

It fails silently

functional programming (first-class functions, closures, partial application via bind(), built-in map() and reduce() for arrays, etc.)

And you can directly create objects, without creating an object factory (e.g., a class) first
