Write Classes, Methods, and Objects in JavaScript

When learning JavaScript, the concepts of classes, methods, and objects are foundational yet can initially feel a bit abstract. This post breaks down these elements to help clarify their roles and relationships. By the end, you’ll understand how classes serve as blueprints, methods bring actions to life, and objects act as unique instances that tie … Continue reading Write Classes, Methods, and Objects in JavaScript →

Understanding Many-to-Many Relationships in Object-Oriented Programming

In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), many-to-many relationships are a powerful way to model complex interactions between objects. These relationships occur when multiple instances of one class are related to multiple instances of another class. Whether you're building a social network, an e-commerce platform, or a learning management system, understanding how to manage these relationships is crucial … Continue reading Understanding Many-to-Many Relationships in Object-Oriented Programming →

Understanding JavaScript Closures with a House Analogy

Closures are one of the most powerful and misunderstood features in JavaScript. They allow you to create functions with memory, leading to more flexible and efficient code. But to fully grasp closures, we first need to understand the concept of a lexical environment. To make this easier, let's use a simple analogy. What is a … Continue reading Understanding JavaScript Closures with a House Analogy →

Mastering SOLID Principles for Cleaner, Maintainable OOP Code

Writing clean, maintainable code is a key goal in object-oriented programming (OOP). The SOLID principles are a set of guidelines designed to help developers achieve just that, making code easier to read, test, and extend over time. SOLID is an acronym for five essential principles that can guide us in building robust and flexible software. … Continue reading Mastering SOLID Principles for Cleaner, Maintainable OOP Code →

Simulating Interfaces and Abstract Classes in JavaScript for Flexible, Polymorphic Code

In object-oriented programming (OOP), polymorphism is key to creating flexible, scalable code by allowing us to work with objects through a common interface. While JavaScript lacks native support for interfaces and abstract classes, we can simulate these structures with patterns that enforce flexibility and structure in our code. In this post, we’ll explore how to … Continue reading Simulating Interfaces and Abstract Classes in JavaScript for Flexible, Polymorphic Code →

Is Solidity an Object-Oriented Programming Language?

Solidity is the leading smart contract programming language for developing decentralized applications (dApps) on Ethereum and other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchains. Since many developers come from object-oriented programming (OOP) backgrounds (for example, JavaScript, C++, or Python), a common question arises: Is Solidity truly an OOP language? The answer isn't straightforward. While solidity incorporates … Continue reading Is Solidity an Object-Oriented Programming Language? →

Node.js vs JavaScript: Documentation

JavaScript is a fascinating language primarily used for web development. However, with Node.js, it extends its capabilities to server-side applications. Here’s a closer look at the key differences between regular JavaScript and Node.js: AspectNode.jsJavaScriptTypeRuntime environmentProgramming languageExecution EnvironmentRuns JavaScript outside of a browser (server-side)Used to write logic and functionality in web apps (client-side or server-side)RoleRuns on … Continue reading Node.js vs JavaScript: Documentation →

Documenting Methods

Finally, let's talk about methods. In your documentation hierarchy, a specific class contains its methods, with each method listed as a sibling to the other methods under that class. This structured organization helps illustrate the relationship between the class and its methods, making it easier for users to understand how to interact with the functionality … Continue reading Documenting Methods →

Documenting Objects

Let's talk about Objects. I mention objects after classes to account for the content structure of the documentation. Information for instantiating a class (Object) is contained on the class purpose page, or a child page nested beneath it. While documentation may not explicitly list every individual object, the context of the class documentation provides the … Continue reading Documenting Objects →
