9.19: Prototypes in Javascript - p5.js Tutorial

In this video, I examine the concept of "Prototype" in the JavaScript programming language. I look at how you can attach methods to objects via prototype (for both objects of existing JS types or your own). I also discuss the "prototype chain" and prototypal inheritance.

whenever I have a hard time understanding a concept in JS, I check if you have made a video on it. You explain things so well and really help me visualise what is happening under the hood. Thank you!

holy moly! I've never seen such an energetic programmer like him. :))

As a programmer with ADHD who after 10 years still struggles much harder than your avg programmer this guy is awesome! :)

[armaandhanji]

this is the first time I ever understood what the heck a prototype is. brilliant teacher. can't wait for next video on inheritance

[metalslug]

I love this format of teaching. going through the ad-lib struggle of exploring new concepts and trying to make sense of the missing pieces only makes me more curious to learn. You sir are an amazing teacher.

There might be faster ways of learning coding, but this guy makes me feel like WE are on an adventure! LOL love it.

This was very, very interesting for me, better understanding how Javascript works. Thank you!
P.S. Please, never ever delete your vids, I would feel quite lost.

I think we should share this channel in all tutorials for beginners. Information is so useful. I'm happy that I can learn it with you. Thank you!))

[darerihter]

Amazing energy and great skill to explain. Rarely in my 30 yrs from programming to managing complex architectures (CDO) seen such density of information delivery. Bravo, maestro.

[syeda.k.]

Never ever ever delete ur videos... what u teach in the moment from the top of ur head is gold.

[TheWest]

Im currently learning vanilla js, but I just love how easy the concepts in your videos are to digest. Thank you very much for doing these :)

[fuckyeahnigge]

Dude, you are a legend, beyond, fucking MEASURE!

[jaredsmith]

Finally an explanation that made sense to me. Switching between code and whiteboard made it all finally click. Then entire presentation was fun and interesting and actually really clear, even though on the surface it seemed to jump all over. Amazing job. I'll definitely be subscribing so I can watch more. These are great! Thanks for making it so much fun to watch a programming tutorial.

[sergioangel]

Really appreciate your teaching style and how you make learning fun. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

[PakArchives]

The way you teach programming is commendable. Thank you for such an awesome tutorial.
