Very well explained, my English is not perfect, but I understand everything you explain in you videos

Most clearly explained new and this keyword. Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us.

This helped me so much, can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. I've watched hundreds of hours of tutorials over the past few years learning front end development and these are among the best.

amazing, this channel needs deserves more subs and views

I really wish you would've done a video about what is a constructor function exactly, and in particular, what is a constructor, how does it work, and what does it store. I am confused as to why when I add a new method directly to the instantiated object, why is it not shown in the constructor when I access through the prototype property.

thank you for showing proper use of the console! Very lacking in online tuts.

Amazing and concise, Thank you for this !

I loved it! The voice, the explanation, the pace, it's well balanced.

I will now bounce back to 'How do I Set the Prototype of an Object'.

Thank you!

If we're using 'this' keyword in a (not arrow function, a regular function) function that's inside a function that's inside another function and so on (all regular functions and not arrow functions)... For multiple levels all of which are inside an object/array, does 'this' still bind to the object/array even though it's deep within multiple layers of functions inside that object/array?

[gregcampbell]

The function joined the prototype because function definitions are hoisted. If it had been a function expression it would only be defined in user2

[jayt]

prototype didn’t work for me using a mobile javascript environment, coded on Javascript coding app for iPhone. console.log(user2.fullName) displayed the actual contents of prototype function instead of processing it’s algorithm

i think ur recording audio with too much gain almost deafened me wearing headphones

[webstuff]

did you bother to look at your video as a check; apparently not! we cannot see any coding for the first three cases

How come your thumbnail pic looks like an old man & your voice sounds like a teenager?? Confused..
