JavaScript (ugh)

var total = 100;total += "A String";crazy = total + 200;console.log(crazy);

Why??????

Let’s “force” JavaScript into OOPDemo

Frameworks and Tooling are Key

Frameworks

• There are far too many to list– TodoMVC is a good resource– http://todomvc.com/

• RequireJS is manditory– Manages your files/modules– http://requirejs.org/

Tools

• Above all, get yourself some code hinting and snippets– Aptana (http://www.aptana.com/)– Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/)– Brackets (https://github.com/adobe/brackets)

Thanks!
