Javascript for people who didn't learn Javascript
summary
Covers how JavaScript really works: prototype inheritance that updates live with a concrete example that shows changing a prototype affects existing objects, how explicit super calls via Model.prototype.method.call let code reuse across overrides, and how CoffeeScript compiles to IIFEs and uses === so generated code avoids common pitfalls. Walks through this binding modes, functional vs method vs apply invocation, ASI pitfalls that break return statements, new vs object.create performance tradeoffs, and live JSFiddle code examples using Backbone, jQuery and Node.
