Recently a fellow swede(pun intended), Robert Nyman, published three very useful blog posts about the basics of Javascript's prototypical object orientation.

The articles are mostly intended for people new to Javascript and coming from class-based languages like Java, C++ or PHP. Beginners who have little or no prior experience in object oriented programming will also find these articles useful.

The articles are concise and not very exhausting - that's a really good thing. Study them and you'll have a good base to spring from.

• JavaScript inheritance - how and why
• Explaining JavaScript scope and closures
• JavaScript: how to get private, privileged, public and static members (properties and methods)

I wish these articles were around when I started with Javascript, back in the dark ages of Javascript, almost 10 years ago.
