The Pillars of JavaScript OOP and the Engine of Execution Context

Chapter 1

This chapter lays the foundation for understanding how JavaScript manages object-oriented programming and execution context. We will explore the core principles and mechanisms that drive JavaScript's behavior when dealing with objects and the scope of execution.

Goals

Understand the principles of object-oriented programming in JavaScript.
Comprehend the concept of execution context and how it affects the flow of a JavaScript program.
Apply object-oriented programming concepts to create structured and maintainable code.

Key Concepts

Objects
Prototypes
Classes
