The following slides were part of a talk about features and implementation of object-oriented JavaScript. The talk was given at Dynamic Languages World, the first European conference dealing with the shared concepts and frameworks of all important dynamic languages (including Ruby, Groovy, PHP, Python and, of course, JavaScript).

The talk attracted quite a number of people. Interestingly, while most of the audience was familiar with JavaScript, some important concepts like closures still seem not to part of the everyday programming arsenal. The native capabilities of JavaScript as a programming language are really fascinating, and frameworks like qooxdoo try to make them as powerful yet comprehensible and practical as possible. Especially if you are new to qooxdoo or object-oriented JavaScript, make sure to read about and also try out qooxdoo's OO syntax and features:
