If you are a JavaScript programmer who has developed some scripts or entire SPAs (single-page apps) without understanding the intimate details of how Object Oriented programming works, why would you need to learn them now?
Because everything in JavaScript is actually implemented as an object, understanding what that means in detail will help you understand what is really going on in the JavaScript Interpreter and what is going on in the programs you've created.
Object-Oriented JavaScript takes a new angle on learning JavaScript programming by taking a look at how objects are loaded in memory. Once you understand the details of the differences between JavaScript Primitives and Reference types your understanding of JavaScript will expand exponentially. You'll begin creating fully baked architectures instead of half-baked scripts.
As you work through Object-Oriented JavaScript you'll find yourself learning advanced Computer Science concepts all while learning how the JavaScript Interpreter works like never before.
Knowing what the structures (Arrays, Objects, etc) are actually doing in memory will expand your software development skills in ways you probably didn't know were possible.
This is the book which can take you from intermediate to advanced JavaScript programmer. Once you read Object-Oriented JavaScript you'll better understand the libraries (jQuery, AngularJS, etc) that are built on top of it. More than that, this book explains concepts (memory models, references, pointers, data structures) in easy-to-read fashion which you will use all through your programming career.
Includes sample code as a download and links to samples at plnkr.co (plunker).
