Unraveling JavaScript Prototypes

Prototypes are the backbone of inheritance and objects in JavaScript, yet many developers remain unsure of them.

This talk aims to demystify prototypes and explain their essential role in JavaScript's object model. We will explore how the prototype chain works with a diagram, the nuances of inheritance in a prototype-based language, and how prototypes empower JavaScript objects to share properties and methods.

Through engaging examples and real-world scenarios, we'll explore key concepts like __proto__, the prototype property, constructor functions, and the modern alternative to ES6 classes.

By the end, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to harness the power of prototypes in your projects, making you a more efficient and confident JavaScript developer.
