Object Oriented JavaScript Tutorial #4 - Classes

Hey gang, in this Object Oriented JavaScript tutorial, we'll take a look at classes and why we'd use them. JavaScript classes can be used to easily create objects of a specific type/class. Although classes don't technically exist in JS, the class keyword emulates the idea of having classes.

I have taken a variety of lectures from many tutors here. I believe you are the best among them. To the point, not leaving anything for a coarse. ;)

Just stumbled upon your course, and it is by far the best one yet. Clear, concise, & to the point. You explain everything in the appropriate amount of detail. I am super grateful to have these available to me! Thank you and great job!

another great video! JS is actually pretty easy to learn once you break it down to small concepts

[josipmuzic]

I just wanna say
I hate when people take too long to explain programming concepts. This is why I find it weird that I wasn't bothered by this course of yours at all.
It seemed like you were over explaining but honestly, I love it, I am genuinely thankful for every one of these videos I this course.

10/10, would recommend

Thank you! Objects killed me for years, you are one of the very few that dont start with four ways to make objects, you went with literal to get things happening. All the other courses I''ve seen go into "the four ways' and I couldn't see the point of objects. Your approach is great, you make it look like there's a good reason for objects, . rather than it being a mental burden.

I agree - knowledge of prototypal inheritance is important. If you're already using classes in other languages then the transition to JS will be easier using ES6 classes. Classes were mostly introduced for Java programmers to make the transition. Otherwise, you're better off learning how prototypes work to 'think' in JS. I think it's more difficult going from class syntax to prototypes than the other way around. Thanks for the videos net ninja.

You're good, very good. I'm finally understanding key concepts, instead of just going with it. Hope you can keep your channel going

Hey! I'm honored to be the first commentator! The 'class' in Javascript has been bothering me all the time. This is the opportunity to get rid of my uncertainty about it. Thank you so much!!

[dwayne]

I hope you update this course, I'd take this again. Your videos combined with MDN and a few other external reading sources is one very good learning environment. Thankyou.

[marsdwarf]

Thanks so much for making these videos. I now understand classes in JS. Cheers!

[jasonghent]

Amazing, simple explanation for a complex topic. Subscribed!!

[PackhouseMediaCollective]

Thank you much sir! I understand classes a lot better now...

[tigana]

Best tutorial on the subject I've seen. You're a really gifted teacher

[JustForFunKOReviews]

thank you so much for this The Net Ninja!

[yuliyabatrakova]

I'm super grateful for your interesting and understandable lessons! Just loved them :)

[rostyslavklyba]

Thanks a lot for your tutorials! I like them so much!

I was wondering if its a practice to create a function that returns an object literal, and just fills it with all the parameters that you pass the function. Like having a function that takes in (name, age, height) as parameters, and then returning an object like { name: name, age: age, height: height }. So building the object literal has the same syntax as creating an new instance of a class and passing in its parameters to its constructor

[madhujadav]

Thanks brother... but plz do tutorial on Vuejs.

[MrAlithom]

wow 1 minute in and answered my question.

[drright]

Wait, what the heck is an ES6? I thought I was learning JavaScript. Is this a library I have to load? Is it just something shipping with browsers? Since when? Do I need to worry about browser versions?
