# All Things JavaScript

## Concepts
* [this](http://unschooled.org/2012/03/understanding-javascript-this/)
* [bind](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind)
* [Hoisting](http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/quick-tip-javascript-hoisting-explained/)
* [Operator Precedence](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Operator_Precedence)
* Lambda
* Object literals
* Prototypical inheritance vs. classical inheritance
 * Prototypical inheritance: objects inherit from other objects; class free
 * Differential inheritance
 * __proto__, delegation
 * Object.create
 * new operator: required when calling constructor function
* Power constructors 
* Immediately-Invoked Function Expression (IIFE); self-invoked functions
* [Regular Expressions](http://tech.pro/tutorial/1214/javascript-regular-expression-enlightenment)
* Declarative vs imperative
* Closures
* Loose typing
* Dynamic objects
  * Object hardening (freeze)
* Truthy, Falsy
* Phony arrays
* CORS
* ["use strict"](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions_and_function_scope/Strict_mode)
  * Treats some mistake as errors
  * Silent failures thrown as errors
  * Use within function to avoid concatenation problems
  * Forces use of explicit "var"
  * Keeps vars created by eval within evaluated code
  * Prevents/throws on:
   * accidental creation of globals
   * assignments to non-writables (NaN, getter-only property, new property on non-extensible object)
   * deleting undeletables
   * duplicate property names
   * duplicated argument names
   * octal syntax (leading zero prefix on numbers)
   * with
* Type coercion - prevented with ===
* typeof
* 0.1 + 0.2 !== 0.3
 * IEEE floating point problem 
* for...in
 * Does deep dredge instead of shallow skim
 * Deep members must be explicitly filtered (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop))
