Following on from part 1 of my follow-up to “Object-oriented JavaScript”, part 2 provides a technical update to some of the theories and examples.

Without further a-do, let’s jump in with the technical stuff:

Thanks to expertly crafted libraries such as jQuery and MooTools, JavaScript has become a foundation of Front-End Development. However, it’s extremely important that we note the higher level concepts utilized in these wonderful libraries. Why is that? As web developers, we must equally balance learning the current programming trends with attempts to push the boundaries of those trends. Without this balance, no innovation will occur in web development. So let’s take a moment to appreciate the fundamentals of JavaScript Object Oriented Programming, which include classes, inheritance, and scope.

This article is the last entry in the series of posts about using PHP 5 with object-oriented programming. The series began with an introduction, followed by some more advanced concepts. We then looked specifically at the magic methods in PHP and how Exceptions work.

Today we’ll take a tour of some of the advanced concepts that we haven’t covered yet, and this will give you a complete toolbox for working with OOP using PHP.
