1. let’s talk about js
/srn.io

2.  weak typed
 prototype-based
 scopes
 jquery vs knockout

3. weak typed
 var / everything is an Object
 implicitly converts (or casts) types when used

4. weak typed
 solving it with typeof, kinda
 instanceof should also be used

5. prototype-based
 objects inherit directly from other objects
 when an object is asked for a property that it does not have, its
parent object is asked...

6. prototype-based
 standard object
 inheritance sucks

7. prototype-based
 prototyped object

8. prototype-based
 inheritance === great, but can be better

9. prototype-based
 base.js
 inheritance === awesome

10. scopes
 scopes is crucial when working with prototyped-based javascript

11. scopes
 solving it

12. jquery vs knockout
 jquery should be used for
 manipulating DOM elements when it makes sense
 e.g. modals and overlays
 ajax handling
 doesn’t have a concept of an underlying data model

13. jquery vs knockout
 knockout should be used for
 everything else
 consistensy of models and DOM
 high performance real-time updates of the UI
 templating

14. let’s write some js
